One of the best sprint car books ever!

I first read it in 1974; I've re-read it dozens of times since. I even purchased a reprint in the early 90's and read it again!

One story I'll always remember from the book is the story of "the malevolent beast", a sprint car that either killed or injured several drivers.....
