Recounting a time of unparalleled access to the highest level of motor-racing this is an informal personal record of the people the cars & the events from that golden era gloriously illustrated with many previously unpublished photographs. Now a generation later many of the cars & drivers shown here in their heyday can be found appearing at historic race meetings drawing crowds approaching the size of those seen at modern Formula One touring car & motorcycle events. The authors personal recollections are complemented by contributions from one of the foremost racing mechanics of his day Bob Dance. This is a unique combination & a unique book.
