Martin spent several years collecting photos, race results, statistics and other appropriate information from a wide variety of sources to form the nucleus of the book.<\/p>\n<p>The USRRC was the pre-eminent professional road race series in the United States, until eclipsed by the more popular Can-Am. Many of the best sports car racers of the day took part, including George Follmer, Jim Hall, Augie Pabst, Ken Miles, Walt Hansgen, Dick Guldstrand, Dave MacDonald and Lothar Motschenbacher.<\/p>\n<p>This is an excellent, large-format book printed on high-quality paper with 344 pages and over 500 color and black\/white images. It is divided into six chapters, one for each year the series was held, 1963-\u201968. There are also two appendices containing a variety of statistical information and track maps for each venue used in the series.<\/p>\n<p>Within each chapter (year), coverage of individual races opens with an image of the race program cover, followed by a summary of how the race unfolded, supported by numerous photos and a listing of the finishing order. A seasonal summary page with final standings for both drivers and manufacturers closes each chapter.\u00a0Any racing enthusiast, historian or writer will find this a very useful addition to their motorsports library.<\/p>\n<p>Available for $100.00 from enthusiast bookstores or direct from the publisher at \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/grimeheel.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/grimeheel.blogspot.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/A1-eWE5V4DL._AC_UF10001000_QL80_.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-751515\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/A1-eWE5V4DL._AC_UF10001000_QL80_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"776\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/A1-eWE5V4DL._AC_UF10001000_QL80_.jpg 776w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/A1-eWE5V4DL._AC_UF10001000_QL80_-233x300.jpg 233w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/A1-eWE5V4DL._AC_UF10001000_QL80_-78x100.jpg 78w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/A1-eWE5V4DL._AC_UF10001000_QL80_-770x992.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/A1-eWE5V4DL._AC_UF10001000_QL80_-293x378.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 776px) 100vw, 776px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>USRRC by Mike Martin Author Mike Martin has written what surely will become the reference book for the United States Road Racing Championship (USRRC).
