Produced by the track\u2019s historian and public relations director, Ken Breslauer, the softcover book includes detailed results of every running of the 12 Hours as well as the 6-hour Sam Collier Memorial contest of 1950 and the United States Grand Prix Formula One race held in 1959.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Perhaps our only disappointment is that results from the track\u2019s 1966, \u201967 and \u201968 Trans-Ams and 1969 and 1970 Formula 5000 rounds were omitted, an extra bit of effort that could have provided a more complete record of the airport circuit\u2019s professional races.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That aside, however, this book should be a template for any track wishing to present its history as each year\u2019s results and summary lap chart are accompanied by photographs of the top 10 finishers (with only one of 600 images unavailable). There are also photos of the facility during its early years and map diagrams showing the evolution of the circuit through the decades.
