Northeast American Sports Car Racing, 1950-1959
by Terry O’Neil

Price: $200.00
Pages: 432
Dimensions: 10″ x 10″
Description: Add $30 shipping and handling

Here you have it, something the SCCA should have done years ago but didn’t. It took a Brit to come over, gather the stats, find and pay for the photos, and a Brit publisher to gamble that the venture would at least break even. O’Neil covers the races year by year, event by event, explains the event, maps it out, and provides a background. The book makes good use of over 475 photos, 104 of them in color and all well captioned. It is massive at 432 pages and is 9 7/8 by 9 7/8 inches. Each race event, be it SCCA or other sanctioning body, has a complete list of finishers in each class or race, not just the biggies, but the puddle jumpers, specials, and lovable cars that made this era so compelling. It will not be available on the Net, for there is really no viable way to accomplish that at this time. This is O’Neil’s second book, the first was a well done and well needed history of the Nassau Races. Essential for historians and those interested in the truly golden years of sports car racing in the United States.

Borgeson spent 30 years chasing the elusive truth about the classic twin cam engine, considered to be the ultimate internal combustion engine and used on every serious high performance car and race car since the First World War. Who was responsible for this stroke of genius, and how was it copied and applied to engines from 1913 onward? While many of the participants were still living, Borgeson went after the story with a passion. Here, he tells the entire and mysterious story, then uses diagrams, photos and specs to illustrate the history of the design up to 1978, when the book was first published. This is a reprint from 2002, but it is still as fresh and even more relevant today than it was thirty years ago. Like high performance cars? Then this is a must have book.
