1400 Photographs, original art. 13 color pages. 15 Chapters includes bonus chapter 1970 "The End of the Trail", Forward by Parnelli Jones. Championship cars, sprints, midgets, stocks, etc. Complete history of championship racing 1960 through 1970 "From the Devil's Bowl to the Brickyard" by Johnny Rutherford.
From 1960 to 1969, A.J. Foyt Jr. won half of the 10 national championships contested during those years. It is easy for many today to forget just how dominating and truly good Foyt really was at his peak. He also won three of the International 500 Mile Sweepstakes races at Indianapolis. Mario Andretti won three national championships during those years, along with the 1967 Daytona 500 and starting his first world championship event from pole at the 1968 United States Grand Prix held at Watkins Glen. Along with Foyt, Andretti was one of the foremost American drivers of the decade. However, Rodger Ward (1962) and Bobby Unser (1968) also won both the Indianapolis 500 mile race and the national championship during these years. It was also the era of drivers like Bobby Marshman, Jim Hurtubise, Parnelli Jones, Jim McElreath, Lloyd Ruby, Al Unser, Joe Leonard, and Dan Gurney – along with others from overseas such as Jack Brabham, Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart, Denny Hulme, and Graham Hill. It was an amazing era—and few works cover it as well as this book! — from speedreaders.info.
