Book excerpt: The world of Champ Car auto racing was changing in the 1970s. As cars became more sophisticated, the cost of supporting a team had skyrocketed, making things difficult for team owners. In an effort to increase purses paid by racing promoters and win lucrative television contracts, a group of owners formed Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) in 1978. Soon after, CART split from its sanctioning body, the United States Auto Club (USAC). Though Champ Cars ran on numerous tracks, the Indianapolis 500 was the payday that supported most teams through the season. From the beginning, CART had most of the successful teams and popular drivers, and they focused on driving a wedge between the track owners and the USAC. Over the next 30 years, the tension between CART and USAC ebbed and flowed until all parties realized that reunification was needed for the sake of the sport. This book details the fight over control of Champ Car racing before reunification in 2008.

Book Synopsis Indy's Wildest Decade by : Alex Gabbard

Book excerpt: For race fans in America, the month of May has always meant one thing: the biggest spectacle in racing, the Indianapolis 500. It's a race that has captured our attention from the moment Ray Harroun took the first checkered flag in 1911. Indy racing has been so fascinating because it has always been a showcase for racing technology -- big purses and major sponsors have ensured that Indy would always attract the fastest of the fast. Over the years, the 500 and its racers have produced a pendulum-like swing between periods of wild innovation and a conservative "run what wins" philosophy. The latter is exemplified by the '20s, when the Millers dominated so thoroughly, and the '50s, when the traditional Offy-powered roadsters ruled. The Miller era was upset by the Great Depression and subsequent introduction of the "Junk Formula" in 1930. The new rules resulted in a "run what ya brung" ethic that brought all kinds of machines and ideas to the brickyard. In the '40s though, it became clear that an Offy-powered roadster was the way to go, and those cars began a new era of domination that lasted into the early '60s. And that's when all hell broke loose. In 1961, a diminutive British Grand Prix car tried its hand at Indy. Jack Brabham's rear-engine Cooper-Climax didn't have the horsepower to beat the roadsters, but its light weight and nimble handling gave it a decided edge in the corners. Suddenly, the Offy roadsters were under attack. Rear-engine cars, stock-block engines, turbines, twin-engine Porsches, Diesels ... you name it, somebody tried racing it at Indy in the 1960s. The battle intensified when Ford entered the fray in 1963, leading to the first rear-engine win when Jimmy Clark drove a Lotus-Ford to victory in 1965. Within a few years, the roadsters were little more than relics, as advances in tires, engines, aerodynamics, and race car engineering left them in the dust. It was the wildest decade ever for America's biggest race. Book jacket.
Book Synopsis Black Noon: The Year They Stopped the Indy 500 by : Art Garner
Download or read book Black Noon: The Year They Stopped the Indy 500 written by Art Garner and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2014 Dean Batchelor Award, Motor Press Guild "Book of the Year" Short-listed for 2015 PEN / ESPN Literary Award for Sports Writing Before noon on May 30th, 1964, the Indy 500 was stopped for the first time in history by an accident. Seven cars had crashed in a fiery wreck, killing two drivers, and threatening the very future of the 500. Black Noon chronicles one of the darkest and most important days in auto-racing history. As rookie Dave MacDonald came out of the fourth turn and onto the front stretch at the end of the second lap, he found his rear-engine car lifted by the turbulence kicked up from two cars he was attempting to pass. With limited steering input, MacDonald lost control of his car and careened off the inside wall of the track, exploding into a huge fireball and sliding back into oncoming traffic. Closing fast was affable fan favorite Eddie Sachs. "The Clown Prince of Racing" hit MacDonald's sliding car broadside, setting off a second explosion that killed Sachs instantly. MacDonald, pulled from the wreckage, died two hours later. After the track was cleared and the race restarted, it was legend A. J. Foyt who raced to a decisive, if hollow, victory. Torn between elation and horror, Foyt, along with others, championed stricter safety regulations, including mandatory pit stops, limiting the amount a fuel a car could carry, and minimum-weight standards. In this tight, fast-paced narrative, Art Garner brings to life the bygone era when drivers lived hard, raced hard, and at times died hard. Drawing from interviews, Garner expertly reconstructs the fateful events and decisions leading up to the sport's blackest day, and the incriminating aftermath that forever altered the sport. Black Noon remembers the race that changed everything and the men that paved the way for the Golden Age of Indy car racing.

Book Synopsis The Cars of Vel Miletich and Parnelli Jones by : Jim Dilamarter
Download or read book The Cars of Vel Miletich and Parnelli Jones written by Jim Dilamarter and published by Dalton Watson. This book was released on 2013-07-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vel Miletich, Parnelli Jones, and their Vel’s Parnelli Jones (VPJ) Racing team of drivers, engineers, designers, fabricators and mechanics dominated the American automobile racing scene of the 1970s from Jones’s humble early career, to the pinnacle of motorsports: back to-back Indianapolis 500 race wins and three consecutive United States Auto Club National Championships. The name “Parnelli Jones” is synonymous with the sport of auto racing. Best known as the winning entrant at Indianapolis with Al Unser and the Johnny Lightning Specials in 1970 and 1971, the Vel Miletich/Parnelli Jones team eventually encompassed several different disciplines of motorsport. In addition to running what was then the USAC National Championship circuit, they were also fielding cars in USAC Silver Crown dirt track events, Formula 5000 events on road courses, NHRA drag racing, off-road racing and even Formula One. When the opportunity arose in 2012 for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Foundation to acquire many of the cars from the beautifully preserved Vel/Parnelli collection, the Foundation board members had no hesitation with making that acquisition. Although these cars are ideally viewed in person at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum, the pages of this book will certainly whet one’s appetite for this most amazing collection.
