Description

Glory, Drama and the Birth of American Road Racing. In 1948 Watkins Glen staged the first official American race for sports cars since the Vanderbilt Cup races of the early years of the century.

This book is about the transformation of post-World War II racing in America and how road racing became a leading sport in the US, beginning at Watkins Glen and followed by Sebring, Daytona, Laguna Seca and other circuits.
