This is the third book by Mr. Davis about, "doorslammers,". They just get better and better!

Larry Davis has another great book out as a follow up to Super Stock - Drag Racing the Family Sedan. This one mainly covers the factory built stockers and cars that made places like Woodward Avenue famous. Good clean photos (wish they could have been bigger though) of a lot of stockers. The focus is on the Midwest/Ohio are where Davis grew up. Great book, highly recommended!

Brad's books are loved by young readers, especially boys. It's great to see a new book by this author.

This was a great book for the child who loves race cars. It was filled with many different levels of content that could be read to or by many different ages of children. This is an excellent series of books!

Great pictures. Great section on equiptment. Too many books are lacking in the equipment sections for fear of obsolescence, not this one! This is a great overview for road racing enthusiasts.

This book is superb. I couldn`t corner properly until I read the section on cornering, now I can power through at a higher speed than some of my team mates. The training section is particularly useful. Throughout this book makes its points with excellent colour photographs.

This highly recommended car racing book will prove essential for any fan of auto sports. Tom Gillesie's Racing Families provides a tribute to the main race car dynasties who have generations involved in the sport, from the Pettys and Earnhardts to the Unsers and Waltrips. Each family is featured in a chapter packed with color photos and history.

Nascar is more of a family sport than any other sport in America. This book showcases NASCAR's greatest families. The Earnhardts, the Jarretts, the Allisons, and of course the Petty's. This book has great insights and awesome pictures. A must have for racing fans.

Martin shares his life as a "Boomer Freshman", complete with rekindling of adolescent problems he had thought were long buried, with humor and candor, and meanwhile gives those of us who feel sheepish about not having actually read the Greek Classics painless synopses set against observations on the geopolitical dramas of today and the author's all-too-real concerns about his own mortality. Amazingly, he's combined all of this in a quick and satisfying read that makes you feel like you've done something to better yourself.

Interwoven themes of mid-life personal growth and recovery, contemporary college education commentary, and snippets of Ancient Greek literary wisdom, with a refreshing and upbeat message! This book has it all, from the serious to the humorous, as a tranformative tale of work, love, mind ,and body. It is uplifting and deftly done. The author describes a personal journey that adds new meaning to being a 'life-long learner'. And, he documents the life force of youth in current culture against a backdrop of literature that spans human history. It seems to me that he has captured the elan vital that exists across the generational divide. And, he shows us a perspective that tears down this divide, like the Fall of the Berlin Wall, to expose a very warm, human story that anyone, of any age, can relate to. It is a refreshing and uplifting read that leaves the reader a better person.
Having visited the St. John's College campus,in Annapolis, Maryland, several times, I can attest to the flawless accuracy of his descriptions of the college setting, activities, and staff.

This book really is amazing. I would recommend this book to any one

This video is a basic overview of various biblical texts dealing with the unified economic system so clearly elucidated in Rev. 13. The very fact that the Euro dollar was almost a joke when this video was done and now is much stronger than our own dollar certainly adds weight to the conclusions set forth in the video.

I really think this book is "right on the money" in "end time" facts. From the first introduction of UPC codes, I KNEW we would be on a fast track to receiving the Mark of the Beast. This book explains what has been happening and what we can expect before Christ's comes for His church. It is wonderful to know that THOUGH, we as Christians can read about this, we will actually be GONE before a decision will be made to worship the Beast and take his mark..... HIGHLY recommend reading !!!

I am currently studying Social Anthropology at the University of Kent. Thus this book was a refreshing change for me - instead of reading about far away, bizarre locations - it was something I could actaully connect with and properly understand. I am also doing a dissertation this year on the topic of Foxhunting: A Rural Ritual - and I would be very interested to somehow contact Kate Fox and maybe get some input from her on the topic. Does anyone know how I might be able to get in touch with her? Her approach to the Racing Tribe is similar to my project - participant observation and interviewing a group of people withing the England - with an equine theme.

If Sally Baker would care to get in touch with me (my e-mail address is richardson@tote.co.uk) I would be happy to help her make contact with Kate Fox, the author of The Racing Tribe. I commissioned the original research project undertaken by Kate whilst I was marketing director at the British Horseracing Board, and from which the book came to be written. I can't, therefore, review with any real objectivity this book, as I am naturally biaised(!); safe to say it is a truly fascinating read, and successfully debunks various myths associated with horseracing and it's participants.

What a great collection of racing stories, entertaining and full of enjoyment and chuckles. A must have for anyone who is interested in American motor sports. The collections of photos in this book and the record they provide is a remarkable achievement in its own right. This book is an unusual accomplishment. Good work, Authors!

This is an amazing piece of Stock Car Racing History, and a MUST-have for all Stock Car racing enthusiasts, especially those of us who grew up around the racetracks of the West Coast. Thanks Jack, for your dedication to making this historically vital project happen!

It took a lot of guts for Gail to write this book. Wonderfully crafted, this is a majestic tale of the history of Nascar, whether they like it or not! Gail obviously plowed straight ahead, didn't let anything stop her, and the final product blew me away. Great, in-depth research ... North Carolina is proud of Gail's guts to write it how she saw it. I think every Nascar fan needs to buy a copy of this book and read it! Every last one of them! For that matter, I'm wondering if Jr., Gordon, Petty, Stewart, and the rest of those good ole' boys have read this book? If not, they're missing out on a well-told piece of their own history. Well done,Gail. Bravo.

Outstanding story of bravery and courage! The author captures the essence of the drivers' struggles, perserverance and determination. Easy read and very enjoyable! Great work from an outstanding author- I highly recommend it!!
