Trans-Am Racing, 1966-85 Detroit's Battle for Pony Car Supremacy Introduction

Trans-Am Racing, 1966-85: Detroit's Battle for Pony Car Supremacy by Albert R. Bochroch Here's the first-time-told, illustrated history of Trans-Am racing, perhaps America's most exciting racing series in modern times. It was a golden age when Detroit money supported the "golden boys" in fender-close road racing. Remember Bob Tullius, Jerry Titus, Mark Donohue, Peter Revson, George Follmer, Tony Adamowicz, Sam Posey, Ronnie Bucknum, Swede Savage, Jim Hall, Peter Gregg, Tony Delorenzo, Milt Minter and many, many more. Remember the immaculate factory creations: the Mustangs, Camaros, Cougars, Javelins, Challengers, Barracudas. And the not-so-factory cars. And the under-2 liters where Alfa battled Cortina Lotus battled Porsche battled BMW. Trans-Am Racing 1966-85 offers race reports, politics, personal anecdotes, technical analysis, driver and team manager interviews and a wealth of inspired historical perspective. Above all else it thrusts into view a stunning array of contemporary photography, the likes of which has never been assembled before. Trans-Am Racing 1966-85 indeed covers the whole series, but heavily concentrates on the most vital years from 1966 through to 1972 when pony car muscle was the way to go. foreward by Parnelli Jones Publisher ‏ : ‎ Motorbooks Intl 1986 Hardcover with dust jacket : 208 pages Shipping weight 700g Includes vintage newspaper clippings Greg Moore.
