Post-World War II was a golden age for auto racing and car racing photography.
This book celebrates the work of on-the-spot photographers who documented motor sports' sensational triumphs and failures through four action-packed decades.
Mining a remarkable collection of rare and compelling photographs from this legendary period of open-wheel racing, the author takes readers back to some of the most exciting days ever spent on the Championship Trail.
Close-up and candid shots from the 1940s to the 1980s - many never before published - capture the highlights of sprint car racing, midget racing, the Indianapolis 500 and other history-making, open-wheel racing events.
Featuring the drivers who made that time what it was, including Rex Mays, Ted Horn, Tony and Gary Bettenhausen, Jimmy Bryan, Bill Vukovich, Parnelli Jones, Mario Andretti, Al Unser and many others.
This is a wild spin through the racing world at its most exciting time and a compelling glimpse of auto racing history in the making.
