Texas Legend: Jim Hall and his Chaparrals

George Levy

One of the greatest drivers of his generation, Jim Hall is even better known as an innovator. From his tiny shop in Midland, Texas emerged a series of Chaparrals that changed the face of racing. His high-winged Chaparral 2E Can-Am car and 2F World Sportscar Championship contender may be the most influential race vehicles of the 20th century. Today, every Formula 1 car uses net downforce, driver-adjustable wings, composite chassis, side-mounted radiators, semi-automatic gearboxes and advanced telemetry to optimize vehicle performance - all things Hall pioneered in the mid-1960s. Here he tells his story - his life, his cars, his relationship with Chevrolet, his battles with sanctioning body bureaucracies - for the first time to award-winning author George Levy in this authorized biography.
