Another superb chunk of Can-Am history.
Pete Lyons brings us the benefit of having been there at the time, and through text and photos conveys just about all the atmosphere you could hope for other than the smells and the ground shaking beneath your feet! If you're interested in the Can-Am series this is another book you must own.

Photo history
Good and well researched coverage of a fantastic series. As a photo history was a bit disappointed with the photo coverage. Would have liked more and bigger. Worth the purchase though

My Kind of Book!
Besides the hundreds of wonderful photographs, Pete Lyons has put together a delightful, insiteful, and informative collection of history, anecdotes, interviews, and technical details. Mr. Lyons has made a great contribution to the history of motorsport by commiting to print these interviews with the giants of the sport. His reporting is very up close and personal and imparts a rich human element to those heady days of thunder. I give five stars for content, but only about three stars for publishing quality. Certainly this edition is clear enough and the photographs are of sufficient resolution to provide detailed study, but I personally would pay $100 for a premium edition printed on high quality stock with high quality inks. Now if we could persuade Mr. Lyons to turn his keen eye towards the Grand Touring Prototype era of the late 80s-early 90s...

A wonderful recounting of an exciting time.
Enjoyed not only the photos but the detailed narratives and photo descriptions.
