Book Reviews of The Complete Book Of Flat Track Racing: A Retrospective of the Golden Era into the Seventies

Book Review: True coverage of a Flat Track Era
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is an accurate overview of Flat Track Racing. Flat Track racing in the 1970's was at its most popular and was a true community of people who all had the same passion for this sport. I am thankful I was able to be a racing spectator during those years, attending races at race tracks all over the country - but I definitely enjoyed reading about it and remembering. I have read several other books on Flat Track racing but Gerald Foster has done a great job of presenting the history of this motorsport.

Summary of The Complete Book Of Flat Track Racing: A Retrospective of the Golden Era into the Seventies

Flat track racing is very much an "only in America" sport. Some say "Americans racing motorcycles like they race horses!" Others say "the only simple and pure racing left in today's massively complicated world." The Complete Book of Flat Track Racing, when first published in 1978, was a celebration. This brand new edition sticks to the original concept but is completely reworked and re-illustrated, and continues that celebration today. Feel the dirt flying, the ground pounding vibration, and be exhausted by the massive excitement of being totally sideways in turn two aboard a Harley-Davidson XR 750! Welcome to the Thunder Dome!
