Francis Howe, Motor Racing Man Par Excellence

Riverside Raceway: Palace of Speed
by Dick Wallen; by Michael Jordan (editor)

Caribbean Capers: The Cuban Grand Prix Races of 1957, 1958 & 1960

USRRC: A Record of the United States Road Racing Championship, 1963–1968
by Mike Martin
This SCCA series—the first for pro drivers—is a topic long-overlooked in the literature. Just as well, because this is the only book you’d want anyway.
