This book takes us back to that time when everything was much simpler and more dangerous than today, but those are the primary elements that made it so compelling. Author Spencer only credits himself with contributing the brief text that accompanies the magnificent assemblage of images from the top shooters of the day, but he also selected and collected them, and we should all be happy that he did.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is a wonderful book where one can spend hours digging through the past to find people, places and cars we may have forgotten, and even if we haven\u2019t, reminding us once again, the way we were. Here\u2019s Phil Hill winning the Del Monte Trophy in the rain at Pebble Beach. There\u2019s Walt Hansgen cross-armed in Briggs Cunningham\u2019s D-Jag, Stirling Moss in the Aston Martin DB1 at Sebring, Lance Reventlow in his brand-new Scarab parked on the main straight at Riverside and Ken Miles in Otto Zipper\u2019s RS60 Porsche at Laguna Seca.
