A memoir of automobile racing in the 1950s thru the 1990s. As viewed from the trenches, where the grunts lived. When Performance was the Solution Not the Problem. I invite you to come along with me to hear and sense the modern beginning of the Hot Rod underground; NASCAR and Trans Am before the rules tame the game. Before money changed the face of racing. Budgets were small but enthusiasm and talent were the predominant ingredient. The individual mattered, he really did. In this former time and place it was the people that made the cars run, not the software! You’ll get to know some of them.
