Boy does this book bring back memories! I was involved in APBA racing in the 1960s and these photos capture the sounds, sights, and feelings of that sport to a T. All that's missing is the names of guys who raced back then. People like Clark Maloof, Billy Allen, Bruce Nichols, etc. were all sadly missing. How well I recall the APBA Nationals in (I think) 1966 held in Beavertown,PA where all these guys and more raced for a week. A great sport and this book brought back so many memories. Thanks!
