This book is great introduction to the world of sprint cars.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sprint Car Racing: America's Sport (Hardcover)
The photography alone makes this book.The shots of actual races leave you with the feeling that you wish you there. I particularly liked the overview of the different organizations. They show the drivers as true american heroes, born to race.I recommend this book to anyone with an interest in motorsports.Yes you have the top stars,but it great to read and see the regional racers.
