Friedman¦s photography takes you onto the tracks, into the pits, and inside the Chaparral race shops. Filled with extensive quotes from Hall and many of his drivers, including Roger Penske, Phil Hill, Sam Posey, and others. Exceptional! Foreword by Jim Hall.

Nice Pictorial . . . .,

This review is from: Chaparral: Can-Am & Prototype Race Cars (Motorbooks Classic) (Paperback)
Very well done pictorial collection, but don't expect much more. The photo captions give a very shallow insight and historical account of this great race car. Much of the meager text is a rehash of information already out there pertaining to the Chaparral's. True Can Am and Sport car race fans will find this book disappointing and lacking from any kind of technical or informational point of view. Still, for the Can Am fan, whether hard core or those of casual interest, this book is a must have.

This review is from: Chaparral Can-Am and Prototype Race Cars (Hardcover)
Excellent photos combines with an easy to read text. This book provides a good background and is a must for any Can Am or Jim Hall fan. If you can only have one Chaparral book Falconer/Nye version is preferred
