There has never been a book like this one, a carefully researched and written biography of automobile racing in New England. \n"A History of Auto Racing in New England" celebrates the colorful past of racing cars in the six states on road courses, up mountains, along the ocean¿s beaches, around dirt and paved ovals, and down strips of concrete and asphalt.\nMore than the cars, the book focuses on the people who drove them and those who created the stages on which the drivers exhibited their courage and their skill. The early races that make up much of the book were profoundly dangerous; participation required abnormal courage. As we celebrate the winners, we mourn with the families and friends of those who paid racing¿s ultimate price.\nA few have become wealthy beyond their wildest dreams through New England racing. The majority have participated for the love of going fast, the joy of turning wrenches while looking for more speed or better handling or to hear the cheers of the crowd following a winning Saturday night or Sunday afternoon.\nGo inside this book¿s covers to discover how racing in New England has made so many lives more thrilling and fulfilling ¿ and in ways that could never happen again.

The laugh-out-loud memoir of one of America s most accomplished and enduring open-wheel racers and without a doubt one of its wackiest. In a 50-year career, Kevin Olson has raced Midgets all over the U.S. and famously Down Under, along the way winning multiple USAC, BMARA and other championships. He was inducted into both the National Midget Auto Racing Hall of Fame and the USAC Hall of Fame in recognition of his driving talent and success, Olson is probably equally well known for his off-the-wall sense of humor and non-stop pranks. Like Kevin, this book is candid, nostalgic, and consistently outrageous. Give it to anyone who loves racing and needs a smile to make their day.

Biographies

Seven decades of colorful stories and images from Lebanon Valley Speedway, upstate New York s ultra-racy half-mile dirt track. Famous for high banks and high speeds, the popular track grew from a primitive start in the 1950s to a showplace for the mighty Big Block Modifieds and World of Outlaws, All Star, and ESS Sprinters, as well as for celebrated drivers Kenny Tremont, Tommy Corellis, Brett Hearn, Eddie Marshall, JR Heffner, Stewart Friesen, and so many more.

Modifieds of the Valley: A History of Racing at Lebanon Valley Speedway

Operating out of an old farm near Cape Cod, Lenny Boehler, an understated personality with overstated aptitude and a twinkle in his eye, seemed to communicate with his race car as effectively as with people. And curiously, “Ole Blue” seemed to respond. Together they motored a million miles on a treacherous road, compiling hundreds of victories at speedways up and down the East Coast over four decades. And, though surviving on massively less resource than their competition, they consistently returned with championship laurels. When Lenny died, he never left. His presence still envelopes the garage and chicken coop where Ole Blue has been housed for the last 65 seasons. Now a senior citizen itself, Ole Blue, still run by Lenny’s family and crew, is one of the most enduring and beloved sights in all of motorsports.
