Roaring Roadsters: The Road to Indy

Roaring Roadsters: The Road to Indy, Dick Wallen's acclaimed coffee table volume covers the post-World War II years when young hot-rodders hopped up their street cars to go racing on oval tracks. As it quickly proved, this very popular California phenomenon produced wheel-to-wheel action and some of the most famous drivers in American racing history, including Indianapolis 500 winners Troy Ruttman, Rodger Ward and Parnelli Jones.

With a foreword by master mechanic A. J. Watson, telling the full history of the roadsters, this book features over 800 black & white photographs, along with colorful artwork, programs and maps of the famous tracks.
