Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The images in this volume represent the work of one of North East motorsport's best-loved characters, photographer Spencer Oliver, who is recognised as one of the finest motorsport photographers Britain has ever produced. Featuring the Newcastle, Sunderland and Middlesbrough speedway promotions over the twenty years from 1960 to 1980, and also the significant grass-track, go-cart, car, motorbike and sidecar racing events and venues in this part of the country, the book contains many striking images of teams and riders including greats like Ivan Mauger and Ole Olsen, with informative accompanying text by Richard Nicholson. The sports were very popular during this period and the speedway would attract thousands of spectators, as would the major road racing events at the Croft Aerodrome.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motorsport has many iconic names attached to it. It has many that are celebrated as heroes in their chosen sport. However, what perhaps is less well known is how many of the motorsport icons of the twentieth century carried out acts of real-life bravery, many during war time, but some in selfless acts of bravery in saving the lives of their fellow competitors. Some of the iconic names of motorsport are linked to the great conflicts of the twentieth century. Enzo Ferrari served during World War One, the most revered of the 1920s Bentley Boys were all World War One veterans such as John Duff, Bernard Rubin, Woolf Barnato, Sammy Davis and Glen Kidston. World War One American flying ace Eddie Rickenbacker was an Indianapolis 500 racing driver. Muriel Thompson, Military Medal, who became a World War One ambulance driver, was not only a chauffeur for suffragette Emeline Pankhurst, but raced at Brooklands before the war. Commentator Murray Walker was a World War Two tank commander, fellow commentator Raymond Baxter was a Spitfire pilot who was mentioned in dispatches for bravery. Carroll Shelby was a United States Army Airforce pilot and instructor with a reputation for great leadership. His friend, engineer and racing driver Ken Miles, served throughout the war as a specialist in tank recovery, landing as part of the D-Day operations. These are just a few of the most notable names from a group of men and women who risked all in conflict, before risking all on the track profiled in this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a trip down memory lane, recalling the days when Formula 5000 cars roared around the race tracks in Britain and Europe, creating a lot of noise and, occasionally, dust. The wail of a 5-litre engine was often more spine-tingling that ANY other racing car! Nowadays, many of the same cars show modern day spectators just what Formula 5000 was, back in the day. Few, if any, of the drivers are prima-donnas and many want to know what their car did before it came into their possession. This book answers those questions and many more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Joe's book captures the smells and sounds of what racing was like in the early days. The stories and photos are priceless. It's a book any fan of this era must have in their collection." - Scott Hansen, former NASCAR truck racer, ASA Rookie of the Year and 5-time Wisconsin International Raceway late model champion The heyday of the Northeast Wisconsin auto racing scene featured grandstands packed with fans eager to cheer their heroes and jeer the villains. It was an era in which drivers often used junkyard parts to build their rides, and cars might trade hands over a card game. Author Joe Verdegan introduces you to the characters and behind-the-scenes stories that played out at tracks throughout the region. Sit in on interviews with the drivers, promoters and car builders who made racing the hottest ticket in town.
