At the Drags

Although Dick Dale has acquired many titles over his lengthy career and while he is best known as THE KING OF THE SURF GUITAR, Dick built a solid reputation blending his patented sound to the emerging car culture that was exploding all over the U.S. Drag strips were opening all over the country and kids were cranking up their AM radios to listen to songs like Mr. Eliminator and Nitro Fuel, all fueled by Dicks distortion laden Fender guitar.
