Lost Race Tracks
By Gordon Eliot White
The stories of more
than 100 Twentieth Century race tracks that once held
the exciting races of yesteryear. The Board tracks,
the concrete speedways, the dirt bullrings, the beach
course at Daytona, the Vanderbilt Cup courses-the asphalt
ovals where midgets ran at mid-century that are now
dark and silent. Photos, maps and descriptions of these
long ago race tracks, some that we remember, some that
existed only briefly, some that disappeared only yesteryear.
Gordon Eliot White
has also authored the books, Kurtis-Kraft, Masterworks
of Speed and Style, Offenhauser, The Ledendary American
Racing Engine and the Men Who Built It, and The Indianapolis
Racing Cars of Frank Kurtis, 1940-1936.

Dirt Track Auto Racing:
1919-1941, A Pictorial History
by Don Radbruch
Prior to World War I, auto racing
featured expensive machines and teams financed by auto factories.
The teams toured the country, and most of the races were held in
large cities, so the vast majority of Americans never saw a race.
All this changed after World War I, though, and in the 1920s and
1930s there were approximately 1,000 dirt tracks in the United
States and Canada. The dirt tracks offered small-time racing—little
prize money and minimal publicity—but people loved it.
This pictorial history documents dirt track racing, with what is
today called sprint cars, around the United States from 1919 to
1941. Information on dirt track racing in Canada during this time is
also provided. Regionally divided chapters detail the drivers,
tracks, and specific races of each area of the country.
Tracks included well known facilities as well as out-of-the-way
sites few people had ever heard of.
Softcover, 7” x 10”, 330 pages,
