technical files and texts by Leonardo Acerbi, an established

and reprinted on a number of occasions, Ferrari All the cars
reviews, model by model, all the most significant cars produced by
the Maranello firm from 1947 to the present day. From the Auto Avio

car to carry the Prancing Horse badge and the Ferrari name, through
to the latest Portofino, the reader explores unforgettable icons of
automotive history. Among them, to mention but a few, are models
such as the 250 GTs, the Testa Rossa, the 250 GTO, the 250 Le Mans
and the 275 GTB , through to the latest creations, the FF, 488 GTB,
California and GTC4 Lusso, by way of the 365 GTB/4 "Daytona", 512

single-seaters from 1950 to the present day, those that have

and 16 Constructors' titles, and the unforgettable Sports cars and
Prototypes, undisputed protagonists for years in the enthralling
endurance classics such as the Le Mans 24 Hours and the Targa
Florio. The files on each model are complemented by an accompanying
image, brief but pertinent contextual texts and detailed technical
specifications. Ferrari All the cars is a unique book allowing you

Following the success of his first book, Drag Racing 101, where IH
Racing's Team Owner Ike Heckler Jr. explains how to build your
first race car and secure sponsorship, Ike now brings you Drag
Racing 201 - Racing in the New Economy. After racing at NHRA tracks
in the northeast and southeast for the past 10 years in a booming
economy where securing sponsorships was relatively easy, Ike takes
you on an exciting journey through 2010 and explains what it is
like to uproot your personal life in order to pursue the goal of
semi-pro drag racing. With over 52 career round wins and national
media exposure from SPEED TV's Pinks All Out, NHRA's National
Dragster, and NMCA's Fastest Street Car magazine, Ike has secured
corporate sponsorships from Lucas Oil, VP Racing Fuels, WIX
Filters, O'Reilly Auto Parts, ReMax Realty, Holiday Inn Hotels
& Resorts, CARQUEST Auto Parts, and Ken's Speed & Machine.
IH Racing's primary sponsor, Premier Properties of the Space Coast,
is owned by Mr. Heckler and develops residential and commercial
properties in southeast Florida. In Drag Racing 201 Ike explains
how to use your own company together with your other sponsors to be
able to fund a full race season and be able to travel the hundreds
of miles from racetrack to racetrack economically. From getting
into the Final 32 at the Pinks All Out event in West Palm, FL to
making the WIX All Out 16 at the Pinks All Out event at zMax
Dragway in Charlotte, Ike brings you along to all the other races
and other fun events he was able to attend in 2010 with the help of
good friends and sponsors. You will also ride along as he moves
from Florida to North Carolina, then back to Florida just so he
could honor his commitment to all his sponsors and race the season.
He will also show you how the degrading economy affected his racing
operation in 2010 and how he had to adjust and sacrifice his
personal life to be able to race and survive. Drag Racing 201 then
looks into the future of the sport and projects how it may look a
few years from now and gives the reader some valuable tips on how
to afford racing a full season and how the racer may have to live
differently in order to race and live their dream. Ike also gives
the reader some valuable sponsorship tips along the way that will
help with sponsor exposure and could make securing sponsorships a
little easier. So get in your race car, strap in, and hold on
because you are about to experience what it feels like to be

Economy, this book is a must read that will save you money and

In this history of the stock car racing circuit known as NASCAR,
Daniel Pierce offers a revealing new look at the sport from its
postwar beginnings on Daytona Beach and Piedmont dirt tracks
through the early 1970s when the sport spread beyond its southern
roots and gained national recognition. Following NASCAR founder Big
Bill France from his start as a mechanic, Real NASCAR details the
sport's genesis as it has never been shown before. Pierce not only
confirms the popular notion of NASCAR's origins in bootlegging, but
also establishes beyond a doubt the close ties between organized
racing and the illegal liquor industry, a story that readers will
find both fascinating and controversial. Drawing on the memories of
a variety of participants--including highly colorful characters
like Lloyd Seay, Roy Hall, Gober Sosebee, Smokey Yunick, Bunky
Knudsen, Humpy Wheeler, Bobby Isaac, Junior Johnson, and Big Bill
France himself-- Real NASCAR shows how the reputation for wildness
of these racers-by-day and bootleggers-by-night drew throngs of
spectators to the tracks in the 1930s, '40s, and '50s. They came to
watch their heroes maneuver ordinary automobiles at incredible
speed, beating and banging on each other, wrecking spectacularly,
and fighting out their differences in the infield. Although France
faced many challenges--including a fickle Detroit that often seemed
unsure of its support for the sport, safety issues that killed star
drivers and threatened its very existence, and drivers who twice
tried to unionize to gain a bigger piece of the NASCAR pie--by the
early 1970s France and his allies had laid a firm foundation for
what has become today a billion-dollar industry and arguably the
largest spectator sport in America. |In this history of the stock
