DESCRIPTION:
Magnut said Vintage American Road Racing Cars, 1960 - 70. This is a wonderful book full of information and pictures of forgotten (and remembered) race cars from my younger days. These are the Autos I grew up watching run from my vantage point as an SCCA flagmanback in the days when the flag people stood ON the edge of the track, not hidden in some bunker safely out of the way.The writers / researchers have done a great job of digging up some history on some of the more obscure specials that made the races entertaining and kept us going ba. Speeeeed said Vintage American Road Racing Cars 1950-1970. As the owner and driver of one of the USRRC/CAN-AM cars described in this book, I give it an A+ for content.. "A Great Book from Guys Who Lived It" according to Andy Anderson. I've been racing since the sixties and at one time or another have either owned or raced against a lot of these cars. You can tell by the writing that these guys are not just out to do a vintage car coffee table book, but to write a real, passionate and amazingly complete book that you will wind up buying at least two copes of one for the library, and one for the shop. It's a terrific book You can tell that they lived the life and can really tell a story with kindness and humor.
