The scope and breadth of material in the engrossing Professor Speed: Danny McKeever and the Mind Game of Going Fast focuses on the story of the man known "as the driving instructor to the stars" but covers much, much more racing-related material. I highly recommend an excellent book for racing history buffs, and for any road racing fan in general. 

Written by Andrew Layton and Tom Madigan, this book begins with the story of McKeever’s life against the backdrop of the development of road racing, then provides an overview of Danny’s racing career prior to becoming a driving instructor and the founding of his landmark driving school, Fast Lane, and a review of the "McKeever Doctrine," the keys to going fast.    

This book …also contains chapters that concisely review the early history of the Long Beach Grand Prix and shares stories of the companion Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race, which ran from 1977 to 2016, all accompanied by beautiful color period photographs.
