Burned to Life - by Mel Kenyon

The only two books I've read and was interested in. Actually did a book report/speech on the Hewitt book in highschool. :emote20:

Haven't read the Wolfgang book yet but maybe dad will let me when he's done. :thumb:

Before I give you my list, I will admit that I work for a publisher so some of my answers will be books that we publish.

American Dirt Track Racer
Author: JOE SCALZO
One of the most evocative eras in the history of American motorsport was the golden age of dirt-track racing, when hairy-knuckled drivers duked it out in open-wheel racers on half-mile ovals around the country. This photographic history spans the classic era from 1946 to 1970, featuring vintage photography of the Champ and Sprint cars that were driven by men like A.J. Foyt, Parnelli Jones, Roger Ward and Bobby Unser for very little monetary reward.
The technologies of the most successful and unusual cars are discussed as are specific races, circuits and some of the more colorful personalities of the period. Midget and track roadsters are also featured, along with period color photography.

"Along For The Ride - A Love Story" by Bob Sweikert's widow, Dorie. :thumb:

Planning on getting my dad and maybe my older brother a copy of Lone Wolf. We have Brad Doty's book "Still Wide Open" but I honestly haven't read it all the way through just some bits and pieces.

Another one by Dave is "Let 'em All Go!". The biography of Chris Economaki. Fine book, and I'm sure it could have been at least double its size, but was edited down.

"USAC - The First 50 Years" by Dick Wallen. If you order through the USAC office before Christmas you will get a free copy of the DVD by the same name. Hefty price but anything done by Dick Wallen is worth every penny.
