Chaparral: Can-am & Prototype Race Cars (Motorbooks Classics) Book

A paperback reissue of the original hardbound version of the same title (original ISBN 0-7603-0508-0), this outstanding photo history chronicles the achievements of the Chaparral team, with a focus on the incredibly innovative cars developed primarily by Chaparral co-owner Jim Hall. This book covers Hall?s personal racing efforts and the success of other outstanding drivers he put in his cars, from the 1950s through the ultimate Can-Am monster, the Chaparral 2J "sucker car," which was built for the 1970 season. Friedman was the ultimate insider and this book is filled with his "I was there" photography that takes readers onto the tracks, into the pits, and inside the Chaparral race shops. It is filled with anecdotes from Hall (who wrote the foreword) and many of his drivers, including Roger Penske, Phil Hill, Sam Posey, and others.Read More
