A History of Auto Racing in New England

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.
