Review

Any motor racing fan will find this a "must" acquisition: an excellent photographic chronicle of American racing which draws upon scenes from the 50s and 60s to create an unusual chronicle of the cars and races involved. Excellent black and white photography forms the foundation for a world-wide examination of the sport's evolution and historic achievements during two decades of change. The oversized format does justice to the beautiful black and white racing scene shots. -- Midwest Book Review
