RACING CORVETTES, The Early Years is by and large about the fifties. For the most part, it features the 1956 and 1957 Sebrings and the 1960 Le Mans. The book is centered around one personality—John Fitch—who was, arguably, the single most important individual responsible for turning a boulevard cruiser into a fire-breathing competitor. The two Sebring accounts were written by Fitch himself! Others who contributed remembrances include Jim Jeffords, Pete Lovely, Dr. Richard Thompson, Bill Pollack, Dick Guldstrand and Andy Porterfield plus there are profiles of Zora Arkus-Duntov, Fitch, Bob Bondurant, Jerry Grant, Guldstrand, Jeffords, Pollack, Porterfield and Carroll Shelby. Rare photographs are featured, many from the General Motors Archive. For an autographed copy, mail a check for $19.95 + $5.95 s&h to Art Evans, 800 S.
