40 Years of Street Racing

"Grab Some Gears - 40 Years of Street Racing" is the title of my book. I finished writing it in 2006, after several years of thought and jotting down notes. It was first suggested to me by a young street racer, after a late night racing session, when we were all standing around talking. Noticing that I was older than most of them, this young racer asked me; "how long have you been doing this"?  I responded; "since I was about 14 years old".  He made the remark; "Wow, a lot must have changed in all that time, you should write a book". That planted the seed that about 10 years later, and after some more years of street racing,  became my book.
For a life-long car guy, the book is a history of many of my racing experiences, street racing and on the drag strip, and the changes that I've seen over the years. It also contains about 40 color photos of some of the cars I have owned in that time.
I'm considering an update to the book, to add some new things that have happened in the last 10-15 years, and add some photos of the cars I've owned since 2006.
Anyone interested can check out my book, and read sample pages at; Grab Some Gears
