The General Motors Fuel Injection history can't be told just by itself because the GM Fuel Injection timeline parallels that of the Chevrolet Corvette and the Chevrolet V-8. Every step at the Chevrolet Motor Division in the development of the Corvette and the V-8 were in preparation for Fuel Injection and every step in the development of Fuel Injection was for the Corvette V-8. The General Motors executives responsible for the iconic Chevrolet Corvette, the Chevrolet V-8 and the legendary "Ramjet" Fuel Injection program at Chevrolet Motor Division were Harlow H. Curtice, Harley J. Earl, Edward N. Cole, Harry Barr, Zora Arkus-Duntov and John Dolza. It was a great surprise and privilege for the author to read the original GM Photographic Log Books and decipher where Fuel Injection photographs were hidden all these years. Had the original photographer's assignment and description not been so obscure who knows if they would still be there! Nearly 40 years of engineering and management experience in General Motors and 30 years researching the Rochester Fuel Injection system, provides the author with insight and perspective necessary to tell the GM Fuel Injection story including the interactions between the Corporation, Styling, R&D, Chevrolet Motor, Rochester Products, AC Spark Plug, Packard Electric and Delco-Remy divisions. This softcover edition is 609 Pages with over 1000+ B&W Images, many never before seen. The book was the NCOA 2007 Corvette Book of the Year Award winner.

This book was written to provide an accurate and complete portrayal of Winchester Speedway. Every effort was made to tell the correct story of this historical track. 
There it sits among the farm fields of corn and soybeans. Driving west on US 32 just outside Winchester, Indiana, you note a red-and-white sign appearing on the right side of the road. It provides you with the information than you are passing the famous Winchester Speedway, which is the third oldest active track in the nation. 
For the average passer-by, that data might have no more significance than the passing of any other racetrack. But to the short track racing community, it’s more—so much more! 
For race drivers during the decades, that name has stood for high speeds and danger. It came from the fear of the track’s awesome high banks which many times decimated fields of racecars. And through the years, there were many drivers and racecars that bore the brunt of the high speeds. But even so, this is still the location of the holy grail of racing. All the great drivers of the 20th and into the 21st century have done their thing in a wide range of different types of racecars. 
The great open wheel racing names flow, and include Roger McCluskey, Jeff Gordon, Tom Bigelow, Tony Stewart, Duane Carter Sr., Duke Nalon, Mike Nazaruk, Sonny Ates, Ted Horn, Troy Ruttman, Rollie Beale, Eddie Sachs, Don Branson, Jud Larson, Johnny Rutherford, A.J. Foyt, Red Renner, Tom Bigelow, Pat O’Connor, Troy Ruttman, Pancho Carter, Mel Kenyon, Gary Bettenhausen, Mauri Rose, Spider Web, Wilbur Shaw, Mel Kenyon, and so many others. But stock car racing has also seen its greats at the venerable track. Mark Martin, Rusty Wallace, Allen Kulwicki, Larry Moore, Dick Trickle, Kyle Busch, Frank Kimmel, Jack Bowsher, Butch Miller, Mike Cope, Harry Gant, Ted Musgrave, Darrell Waltrip, Bobby Allison, Kenny Wallace, Terry Labonte, Bob Senneker, Randy Sweet, Ken Schrader, and again, on and on.

Longtime owner Earl Baltes headed the track for a half-century and his promotion skills made the track tops. He had the first Dirt Late Model big track with the World 100 and later the Dream. He also had the unforgettable Eldora Million race with the winner getting that seven figure payoff. It was the same for sprint cars with the Kings Royal, USAC Four Crown Nationals and Historical Big one. He did things that other promoters wouldn't have dared to undertake. In the mid-2000s, Tony Stewart took the reins and big things continued. His Prelude event invited NASCAR drivers to come and compete at his track. It was a huge success with full houses and great ratings on Pay-Per-View television. There are other rumors about other big happenings at the track. It just never seems to end at this famous half-mile dirt speedplant! With remembrances of Eldora by such notables as Donnie Moran, Johnny Rutherford, Mario Andretti, Bobby Unser, Jack Hewitt, Jeff Gordon, Larry Moore, Parnelli Jones, and of course, Tony Stewart and Earl Baltes, this book has something for everyone!
