I read it while on vacation a couple of weeks ago. It would of been nice to have some vintage pictures but overall it was a good read and told me a lot of the story I didn't know. A thumbs up for me!

On another note, over the same weekend I also read the life story of Mickey Thompson. - another good book to read for any car enthusiast

Requested and received a copy for my 61st birthday, July 13th. Read it in a couple days, found hard to set aside.
Was part of Hal Keck's Cobra team in the mid 60's to early 70's, he started with a 289 model (CSX2127) and then the "427" (CSX3008). We thought we were a big fish in the Northeast SCCA region. Won the A/P SCCA Nationals in 1965 for Archway Ford and Shelby. Raced at Sebring with success.Hal was also the co-driver with Jo Schlesser when he won the GT class in the Daytona cpe at Daytona. Went on to win several races in the Northeast US until Scca did away with A/P.
After reading your book, I realize, we were just a small fish in a much larger Ocean. Thanks for the book, enjoyed every chapter and all the information, knew a little about this story, but now I know the rest.

Just finished the book, and I am not a book reader. My wife was suprized to see me sitting down reading a book! It was excellent, I could not put it down. I am looking for a book on Ken Miles. Shelby was right, there will never be another Ken Miles
