Cars at Speed
|
|
Robert Daleys book Cars at Speed captures sportscar racing from the 1950s and 1960s. At this time racing was fast, exciting and dangerous. Races were as likely to be held on blockaded public roads as on dedicated circuits. The thrill drew crowds close to the action, occasionaly with disasterous results. Robert Daleys unflinching narrative considers both the thrill of racing as well as the cost.
