Description: Batten Heads of Romulus, Michigan, was a specialty performance-engine company known for developing serious racing hardware during the 1970s and 1980s. Operating under names including Batten Heads and Batten Corporation, the company became particularly associated with high-flow cylinder heads and other components for American V8 engines. Its offerings included lightweight aluminum heads for small-blocks and competition-oriented heads featuring large ports, raised exhaust passages, and specialized valvetrain arrangements. Batten's engineering expertise extended beyond hot rods and drag racing; the company also became involved in sophisticated racing and experimental engine programs, including development work for the Big Three.

Description: Otie Smith got his start in drag racing back in 1953, tearing down the strip at the Akron Airport drags in his '32 roadster. Within just a few years, his talent for building and tuning high-performance engines had earned him a reputation throughout the local hot rod and drag racing scenes, leading to the founding of Otie’s Automotive. While Otie continued to spend plenty of time behind the wheel of his own dragsters, he was just as busy in the shop, building custom engines, fine-tuning race cars, and developing some truly unique speed equipment. This design includes a full-color illustration of what is likely Otie's most famous dragster - his 1964 AA/A Dragmaster 23T!
