A
History of Auto Racing in New England
- A Project of the
North East Motor Sports Museum
There has never
been a book like this one, a carefully researched and written
biography of automobile racing in New England.
A History of Auto Racing in New England
celebrates the colorful past of racing cars in the six states on
road courses, up mountains, along the ocean’s beaches, around dirt
and paved ovals, and down strips of concrete and asphalt.
More than the cars, we
have focused on the people who drove them and those who created the
stages on which the drivers exhibited their courage and their skill.
The early races that make up much of the book were profoundly
dangerous; participation required abnormal courage. As we celebrate
the winners, we mourn with the families and friends of those who
paid racing’s ultimate price.
A few have become wealthy
beyond their wildest dreams through New England racing. The majority
have participated for the love of going fast, the joy of turning
wrenches while looking for more speed or better handling or to hear
the cheers of the crowd following a winning Saturday night or Sunday
afternoon.
Go inside this book’s covers to discover how
racing in New England has made so many lives more thrilling and
fulfilling – and in ways that could never happen again.
Proceeds benefit NEMSM.
Hard cover, 400+ B&W
photos, 304 pages.
