If there are those of you into auto racing history of a narrow time period, I can highly recommend this book…
‘The Cobra-Ferrari Wars: 1963-1965’, 2nd edition, by Michael Shoen (hardcover) (ISBN 0962509302). I just received it yesterday, in a purchase directly from the author. This racing era is my favorite, as I was a high school and college student thru this period.
The book is considered THE best history on this topic. 367 pages of well-written history and amazing photographs, printed on 11"x8 1/2", 80-lb Gloss Book, grade-one, art-quality, gloss-coated sheets. You just don’t see this level of quality printing anymore, as it is very expensive.
If you like/love this era of auto-sport, then this is for you. Time to take all that change out of the huge jar on top of the refrigerator. (hope it is full)

- Beast: The Top Secret Ilmor-Penske Race Car That Shocked the World at the 1994 Indy 500 (Jade Gurss)
- Survive. Drive. Win. The Inside Story of Brawn GP and Jenson Button’s Incredible F1 Championship Win (Nick Fry)
- What Doesn’t Kill You…: My Life in Motor Racing (Johnny Herbert)
Now I’m reading The Mechanic: The Secret World of the F1 Pitlane (Marc ‘Elvis’ Priestley)

The book that was made by the Skip barber racing school is an excellent tool for learning how to drive race cars faster
