This review is from: Harley-Davidson Racing, 1934-1986 (Hardcover)
Allen Girdler covers it all in this book. It has a lot of technical information as well as the history and background of flattrack racing. Lots of black and white photos. This is a must have if you are a fan of Harley Davidson racing and flattrack racing in general.

This review is from: Harley-Davidson Racing, 1934-1986 (Hardcover)
This book is a nice coffee table book about H-D racing from 1934 to 1986. The author gives a great objective look at H-D's racing successes and failures and pulls no punches when discusses the advantages and disadvantages (and the reasons why) H-D had over the competitors. A great history book of flat track and road racing, not just for Harley lovers, with tons of great old pictures.

This review is from: Harley-Davidson Racing, 1934-1986 (Hardcover)
Alan Girdler has started from the beginning and lead me through the WRs, KRs, XLRs and into the XRs in a way that makes clear sense. I wouldn't have minded knowing how many of the given models were built, but given the way Girdler describes Harley record keeping, perhaps even they don't know! Anyway, if you are a dirttrack fan, you'll like this book.
