[Andyrew]

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???

Mike, I think the book your're thinking of is the immortal Stand on It alledgedly written by "Stroker Ace" (the actual author was Brock Yates). Probably the funniest book about racing ever written, particularly since all of the stories are true, with the names changed to stop libel suits. Much, much better than the Bert Reynolds film.

Another couple of decent ones are The Road to Dusty Death by Alistair MacLean (about Formula One), The Green Helmet (an old one about the Mille Miglia) and Speed Six (another old one about LeMans). Don't know if any of these are still in print, but they're pretty good reads if you can find them.
