The USRRC Story unfolds

I posted the following on my Dead Pedal Press facebook page and for those who choose to not go there, I am putting the same info here.

I still have a few copies of USRRC left. There are about 3 left without the bumper box for $85. The rest are $100 for media mail shipping, or $115 for Priority Mail shipping. If you're interested, send payment via Paypal to: grimeheel62@wavecable.com. Or send a check to Mike Martin, 910 Secord Ct., Camano Island, WA 98282.
Since there are few copies left, I'm going to start posting the text of the book, probably a race a week. I'm going to start off by posting the Acknowledgements and Photo Acknowledgements pages, followed by the Intro to the book, the Intro to the 1963 season and the first race at Daytona. Enjoy.

In the between post time, I am continuing to work on the history of the Shadow Racing Team for Dalton Watson Fine Books.

I have about 10 copies of my USRRC book that are in brand new, perfect condition, but the bumper box, used to protect them did it's job and took the beating. I will sell these for $80, which includes media mail shipping, to the first ten folks who send me an email (to grimeheel62@wavecable.com) requesting a copy.
