Have you ever wondered what a career in automobile racing might be like? Have you ever watched a grand prix or Indy race and thought what it must feel like? Ride along with Posey as he takes you along and tells you his thoughts along the way from everything like thundering down the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans to hurtling, end-over-end in a terrible crash. This book is well presented in a matter-of-fact and conversational way that lets you feel that this is an ordinary guy who wanted more than anything to race. It covers his career from childhood interests through his racing with BMW in 1975 and includes runs through the famous Trans Am years in Pony Cars, Formula 5000 against David Hobbs, early years in Can Am, driving Ferraris at LeMans for Chinetti and NART, and more. This book held my interest yet was easy to read. Although the chronological order bounces somewhat making some parts a little confusing, it is overcome by some interesting stories by an insider with a talent to communicate. As for getting a copy I read mine from the public library which seems to only have older, out of print books.

This is the best book any auto racing enthusiast and aspiring racer could read. It is eloquently written and extremely modern. Sam Posey proves his genius in writing about racing, mechanics, and the life of a professional driver.

This book got me started in racing, and I continuely remeber things from it and I read it ten years ago. This is a highly sought after masterpiece.

I encourage you to either purchase or check-out from the library.

I have read a ton of auto racing books and nothing else truly compares. This is a RARE one of a kind.
