Rick Mears—Thanks: The Story of Rick Mears and the Mears Gang
by Gordon Kirby
Few drivers have won the Indy 500 four times. Mears has—and more than once did he get within reach of another win. He spent his entire 15-year career with one team, and remained there longer than that after his retirement. What makes him so unusual?
ROFGO Collection
by Doug Nye
That 917 on the cover hints at treasures. ROFGO was voted 2019 Heritage Collection of the Year, and this book showcases just some of the important Gulf Oil-sponsored race cars it contains.
The Michael Turner Collection
Over 50 Years of Motor-Sport Inspired Christmas Cards
by Chas Parker & Michael Turner
You don’t need to wait for Christmas to like these cards. They are a fabulous way to recall great moments in mostly F1 racing and also to marvel at Turner’s extraordinary eye and understanding of a scene.
Bonneville’s Women of Land Speed Racing
by “Landspeed” Louise Ann Noeth
Unlike other forms of motorsports, gender doesn’t seem to be an inherently restrictive factor on the salt. Over 200 women have stepped up to the starting line, and dozen of them have set records. Many more work the event behind the scenes, and then there are the engineers and builders.
Jacky Ickx: His Authorised Competition History
by Jon Saltinstall
The quiet and contemplative Belgian who thought he wanted to be a gardener discovered he was a versatile and successful racer on two and then four wheels. He contested over 570 races in a decades-spanning career, and here is a suitably big book for this big life.
Caesars Palace Grand Prix
by Randall Cannon
Las Vegas may be popular with gamblers but it wasn’t with racing drivers. The circuit was boring and flat as a parking lot, in fact it was a parking lot. And run counter-clockwise, and, oh, that heat. There is always talk of bringing racing back to Vegas—and this time without the Mob! The Mob?
The Soul of a Modified, Lenny Boehler’s Ole Blue
by Lew Boyd
How did a souped-up old junker built on a shoestring in a converted chicken coop garage spawn a racing dynasty and attract serious drivers? It’s the stuff of legend. And the author would know, because he was there.
Ed Swart – From Zandvoort to Daytona
by Ed Swart with Johnnie Tipler
Racing driver, team owner, clerk of the course, race-club founder . . . is there anything motorsports-related that Ed Swart has not done? A 200-page book seems hardly enough to cover it all.
Full Circle: A Hands-On Affair with the First Ferrari 250 GTO
by Larry Perkins & Petra Perkins
Not a scholarly treatise on a legendary car but a snapshot-style memoir of half a century of crossing paths with the first 250 GTO.

Lime Rock Park: The Early Years 1955–1975
by Terry O’Neil
One of America’s oldest continuously operated road courses, Lime Rock has seen more strife and discord in the local community and in its own ranks, and legal wranglings and financial crises to shut it down a dozen times over. But it still operates. It has taken 680 pages to cover just the first 20 years.
A Race With Infamy, The Lance Macklin Story
by Jack Barlow
He was active on the pro scene for only a few years, winning no poles, points, let alone podiums. That he is not entirely forgotten by racers is due to the “infamy” the title alludes to.
