Alright, I dont think this has been done, and im sure some of you guys have some good light and heavy reading car books out there that you love reading over and over.. What is your favorate car book? No the history of Porsche doesnt count, No it cant have pictures in it, The secret to solo racing is not what I mean. I'll put mine down.
The Car (ironic..) By Gary Paulsen Bout a kid who's parents separate, and his dad hates him, but his dad got a kit car as part of a trade but never built it. so the kid builds this car and then goes out to explore the country, pretty cool book. What about you??? Andrew |

Vegas, I read a fair number of novels and various history topics, anything from what are considered good books to pulp. I say this just to establish a claim that I can read. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Last year I tried once again to read "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" which I have had for years. 2/3rds of the way through I quit. I rarely do not finish a book, but I just couldn't continue. I know a lot of people like it, but I guess it's not for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I did leave a book marker at my stopping point, so maybe I'll try again.
JP, I'm with you on the Pete Lyons Can-Am history. Also his Chaparral history. And related, I love the Dave Friedman photo books Chaparral, McLaren, Lola, Grand Sport Corvette and all of his Ford and Cobra books. Lots of pretty pictures. I recently read that Friedman has a monster Corvette racing book coming out. ArtechnikA, I read "The Unfair Advantage" last spring while on a beach vacation. I really enjoyed it. What a shame Mark Donohue was killed. Grand Prix, and racing drivers in general, were so much more vulnerable to fatal accidents in his day. Mike |
