Books: The Teams & the Cars Pro Sports Car Racing in America 1958-1974 Item #P162 - $24.95 Penske, Shelby, Hall, Gurnev, Hill, Ginther, Reventlow, Miles, Cunningham, Krause - These are the men who dominated sports car racing in North America at the start of the 1958 racing season. They had spent a lot of their own money on the hobby they loved, but they desired something back. They wanted to go pro. For the next 16 years, the cars became progressively faster, the competition hotter, and the stakes higher. But what was it really like to thread a factory-sponsored Porsche 917 or Ferrari 512 through the corkscrew at Riverside or to tromp the brake on a factory McLaren at the last possible deep spot of the Canadian Corner at Road America? Few are fortunate to know first-hand, but for the rest, Dave Friedman's photography straps you in the driver's seat. More than 300 black and white and 50 stunning color images relive the fastest, hottest, most intense racing in American history. As you page through Pro Sports Car Racing in America 1958-1974, you will swear you hear the Big Bangers echo through Watkins Glen, feel the Gs drifting through sweepers at Sebring, and smell the perfume that high octane produces only when it passes through 12 cylinders of a high-revving Ferrari. If you weren't a part of those exciting times, the Pro Sports Car Racing in America 1958-1974 is the next best things Enjoy the ride.
