Albert Drake

Albert Drake has been a practicing hot rodder since 1951, when he built a '29 A-V8 Ford roadster. But it was two years earlier, in 1949, when he became interested in the California dry lake time trials, and this interest has become an obsession. Over 400 of his articles have appeared in a variety of magazines, including Goodguys Gazette, Street Rodder, Street Rod Action, Rodder's Digest, Popular Cars, Hot Rod Mechanix, Street Rodding Illustrated, Street Rods Unlimited, Custom Car, Hot Rod and Custom (England), and many others.
