Customer Reviews

provides what it promises

The text is well written and reads easily, although it is slightly encyclopedic. The book manages to try to document all the racing that went on in the years it covers while at the same time placing the bare facts into context with some anecdotes about the drivers and the cars. But what really makes it a five-star book is the collection of photographs and other historical documents. I suspect that it would not be of general interest, but as someone who is involved in the current-day Pacific Northwest sports car driving scene, I find the history to be fascinating. I'm very much looking forward to the next volume. This book was published in only very limited numbers and was (as far as I know) self-distributed by the author. That makes it hard to find.
