Been out for 5 or 6 years, bought it recently and just finished it tonight. He seems to be a person who thinks a lot of himself, actually admits it several times, his arrogance that is, not sure what to believe and what not to believe as reading it. Would recommend it for sprint car fans as he campaigned cars for 20+ years w/people like Wolfgang, Opperman, Carson and other big names in the seat. but sort of hard getting by the "I'm the greatest" kind of attitude. First to do this, first to do that, etc. Just my opinion. Lots of great interesting stories about his years campaigning sprint cars though. Did not get this feeling at all with other sprint car books like Trostle, Doty, Wolf and Economaki, though Economaki is a little full of it at times.
Lawlessness and liberalism equals Hell. NY City,
Detroit, Seattle, Chicago, Minnepolis, etc. We saw it.
Burning hundreds of buildings, a thousand assaults and
dozens of murders. Getting worser and worser.

I enjoyed the book. Sometimes people who accomplish a lot have big egos.He built something of an empire, his museum is amazing, & he owned LOTs of real estate in Lincoln
His son has a huge lunch box collection at the museum...story they say on the tour is that ole Speedy Bill was too stingy to buy the kid a lunchbox, so when he grew up, he splurged
