This outstanding photohistory chronicles the exploits of Chapparral sports racers from Jim Hall's entry as a driver in the 1950s through the ultimate Can-Am monster, the 2J "sucker car" constructed for the 1970 season. Friedman's photography takes you onto the tracks, into the pits, and inside the Chaparral race shops. Filled with extensive quotes from Hall and many of his drivers, including Roger Penske, Phil Hill, Sam Posey, and others.

 A PERSONAL ACCOUNT OF HISTORY OF THE MARQUE May 14, 2003
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Being a child of the sixties and growing up as a fan of sports car racing during that era, this book truly brings the personal side of Jim Hall and his Chaparrals to the fore-front. Jim Freidman does an exceptional job in his writing as well as candid photography of the racing team during that glorious period. With quotes from Hap Sharp, Phil Hill, Roger Penske, as well as scores of other great drivers, the reader becomes a part of racing history we will never see again.
Thank you Jim Hall for sharing your memories!

Excellent photos combines with an easy to read text. This book provides a good background and is a must for any Can Am or Jim Hall fan. If you can only have one Chaparral book Falconer/Nye version is preferred
