Great read.
From the back cover;
"Los Angeles is the City of
Speed.
For decades, stretching back to the early 1920s, L.A.
and Southern California have offered up the
fastest, bravest, craziest race drivers; ingenious, madman car builders; and
ego-inflated promoters all setting the pace for American racing. Regardless the
venue—drag strip, Bonneville, road race course, Indianapolis, Supercross arena,
dirt track, NASCAR oval--L.A. always had the hot driver, the demon tweak, or
the unanticipated angle to leave the competition gasping to keep up."
