It is a novel (but I suspect auto-biographical) about a youngster growing up in the 50's and becoming involved w/ sportscars and racing. I say autobiographical because it includes some detailed accounts of races at Watkins Glen, and the opening of Road America. So far it evokes memories of my introduction to, and love of, racing and sports cars. Especially his accounts of wrenching impossibly engineered gems such as XK120's and MGTs and A's.
