This is an "Oldie but a Badie" and that's good. Shows how far we've come when it comes to car chase movies. Not very far plot or story wise, except for CGI in todays flicks. The over acting is monumental, with only a couple of exceptions, but the hot rods are great fun to watch. The oil burning Corvette needed a ring job, but I guess it wasn't in the budget. I almost had to laugh out loud when Dana Andrew would bend over in pain (with his back injury) at the signal from the director saying action: "OK and the PAIN hits you "NOW"! Dana's daughter is cute, but so naive, it's hard to believe at least one guy didn't hit on her before running into these hot rod punks. Ah, restless youth. I remember when I was young and now I have a bad back. The movie is entertainment, so watch it as that. Too critical an eye will ruin it for you. I've seen it many times including on AMC TV, but had to have my own copy. This should be a cult classic like other B movies have become. How Dana Andrews kept from slapping his wife, played by Jeanne Crain, whilf filming this, is beyond me. Scheesch, calm down lady. Over all just fun campy stuff, like the good old days at the drive in. Grab a box of popcorn and enjoy. DeleteReplyForwardMove...

I've had the book for four years and read it every off season to try and break bad habits. Frank breaks it down to simple terms and is written at a level that is very interesting. Best money spent for a useful tool in my secret tool box! Terry Bolin, Springdale, Ar.

This is a very entertaining "easy read". I would recommend this to all NASCAR fans.

Rebecca Monroe own Vintage & Classics, a car restoration shop in Head Tide, Maryland, which is the prime reason Racer Peyton Madison's chief mechanic hires as part of the crew in the open-wheel race at Indianapolis. She is glad to get away from home after learning the people who raised her aren't her biological parents and she has a grandmother she knows nothing about. Being at Indie is a dream comes true for Rebecca who loves driving vehicles from the sixties, seventies, and eighties.

The dream turns into a nightmare when a rash of accidents happen including a cut break-line, watered gas and stripped lug nuts occur. The car originally supposed to race is so torn up that Peyton replaces that car with the more expensive and glamorous Lotus 49C. Rebecca is positive that the accidents were really sabotage in disguise; her assertion is confirmed when someone shoots at them hitting the windshield. Needing the money and not wanting any negative publicity, Peyton refuses to call the police, a decision that will cost him when the saboteur comes after him. Rebecca is determined to find out who the criminal is and why Peyton is the target; a choice that puts the life of an innocent child, who attached herself to Rebecca, in danger.

In DRIVEN TO MURDER, Judith Skillings provides a racing mystery that is complex and cleverly constructed with so more crossroads readers won't know which path is the right one. The protagonist charges into danger knowing doing nothing will not make things safer. Rebecca is spunky, kind and independent, which brings her the affections of two very different men. Readers will thoroughly enjoy this enthralling mystery.

Driven to win is Nigel's own story up to 1989 when he joined the Ferrari Team. The ups and downs in his early career are a great read. Lots of information about his family life and his struggle to make it in Formula One. With hard work, energy and the help of his wife (and Colin Chapman) he finally did it. This book is essential for all his fans around the world.

My boyfriend rides a Ducati and is thoroughly enjoying this book! He likes the wide array of perspectives from such an eclectic group of people. They're some pretty neat photos along with the stories too. If you're a Duck lover....I don't think you'll be disappointed.
