With an insightful and erudite writing style, Pete examines the cars, drivers, events and questions that are meaningful and relevant to us as historic racing competitors and devotees of racing history.\u00a0If you don\u2019t own all 14 years of Vintage Racecar back issues (and we think you should!), buying a copy of Fast Lines is a great way to be able to enjoy an amazing body of work that will surely stand the test of time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Autographed copies available at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.petelyons.com\">www.petelyons.com<\/a> for US$24.95 (plus s&amp;h).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/PR201112-p2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-548719\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/PR201112-p2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"876\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/PR201112-p2.jpg 876w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/PR201112-p2-243x300.jpg 243w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/PR201112-p2-831x1024.jpg 831w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/PR201112-p2-81x100.jpg 81w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/PR201112-p2-770x949.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/PR201112-p2-293x361.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 876px) 100vw, 876px\" \/><\/a><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fast Lines By Pete Lyons Let me preface this review\u2014right up front\u2014and say that it was impossible for any of us here to be objective, when it came to Pete Lyons\u2019 new compendium of his favorite \u201cFast Lines\u201d columns\u2014we obviously loved them the first time we published them and like a fine wine they only seem to get better with age!
