The first thing to say about www.autoracinghistory.com is that this is a text-heavy site where the word works more powerfully than the image, but whether that detracts from or embellishes the site will be entirely up to you, whose eye will do the beholding.<\/p>\n

That said, let us tell you that while you will find records and statistics if you follow the proper links, the heart of the matter here comes in the form of the articles and book reviews, most of which are quite capably produced by site founder Russell Jaslow. Among the other features are Photo Galleries, a \u201cLinks\u201d page that provides connections to more than 200 other worthy historical sites and, finally, an active forum where readers can ask and answer the questions of the day.<\/p>\n

This seems to be one of those sites where how much you like it or get from it will depend on what you are interested in. For example, you could spend many hours sifting through the reviews of various books, or you could blow them off as just more book reviews. So go and have a look, browse around and see what you think, it\u2019s all there to be found.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
