The Cruel Sport: Grand Prix Racing 1959-1967
by Robert Daley
Daley captures life of the edge of
the Grand Prix circuit, which in very few ways
resembles the safety conscious environments of F1,
NASCAR, and CART today. In a several year period,
nearly 50% of the drivers that began the season did
not survive it. This was a golden and glorious
period for the sport, but it was also dangerous and
"cruel". The book includes sections covering the
drivers, cars, factories, practice sessions, race
day races and, inevitably, accidents. The text is
incredibly compelling, as would be expected from a
world-class writer. Drivers such as Phil Hill, Jim
Clark, Jack Brabham, Marquis de Portago, Luigi Musso,
Peter Collins, Jean Behra, Enzo Ferrari, Jackie
Stewart, Ricardo Rodriguez, Colin Chapman and others
are all profiled here. A rare period piece certain
to delight racing fans.

Where They Raced–Lap
2
Auto Racing Venues in Southern California, 1900-2000
By Harold Osmer
More auto racing
has taken place in Southern California than any other
equal-area region in the world. Where They Raced
was the first serious academic work dedicated to auto
racing venues in Los Angeles. Lap 2 brings the
entire original book together with new information about
dozens of additional retired venues, drag racing, and
five new speedways.
Expanding the scope to include Ventura,
Kern, and San Diego Counties makes this a truly Southern
California effort. An added bonus is the addition of
127 photographs of such long gone sites as the Beverly
Hills board track, the Mines Field (now LAX) Road Course,
San Diego's Balboa Stadium and Riverside International
Raceway.
