got me thinking about books I read as a kid in grade school. I know, you're thinking it must be hard for an old guy like me to even remember grade school, and you're right, it is.
The book, or rather series of books, was about a race car mechanic who worked on a car that was driven in the Mexican Panamerican road races.
I wish I could remember the name of one of the books or find the series as it was instrumental in getting me to read and sparked my interest in international road racing.
Any of you guys ever read a book like that?
This would have been read in the early '60's as that is when I was in grade school.
