New Books: Race Cars and the Men Who Drive Them

Qbookshop.com
The
Racing Edition

February 2011 

Dear ASD,
From Daytona to Monte Carlo, millions of race fans gather each year to experience the speed and heart-pounding excitement of auto racing. While the cars warrant attention, the real draw of the sport is the driver. This spring, Motorbooks brings you the stories of two racing legends ... "TV" Tommy Ivo and Mickey Thompson. Scroll to the end of this email to see how you can get these books — and more — at 25% off.

 

Who is 'TV' Tommy Ivo?
'TV' Tommy Ivo: Drag Racing's Master Showman
If you're fan of classic television, you may have seen Tommy Ivo in a 1950s or '60s TV show. As a child actor, he appeared in hundreds of TV episodes and movies, including such hit shows as Petticoat Junction, Lassie, Leave it to Beaver, and The Lone Ranger.

 

As a young man, Tommy fell in love with drag racing and spent much of his spare time on the track. Although acting seemed to be Tommy's career path, when producers told him he'd have to give up racing if he wanted to continue to work in TV, he quit the entertainment industry instead.  

 

He's been entertaining race fans ever since.

 

"TV" Tommy Ivo: Drag Racing's Master Showman by Tom Cotter hits bookstores next month. The newest Motorbooks release is the first in-depth peek into Tommy's life. As one of NHRA's Top 25 drivers and a member of the Motorsports Hall of Fame, Tommy's reputation in the drag racing industry has kept him top of mind for racing enthusiasts.

Justice for Mickey Thompson
Mickey Thompson: The Fast Life and Tragic Death of a Racing Legend
On March 16, 1988, motorsport legend Mickey Thompson and his wife, Trudy, were gunned down in the driveway of their California home. The brutal double murder brought an end to one of the most extraordinary careers in the history of auto racing, a career that has never been completely profiled ... until now.

Now in paperback, Mickey Thompson: The Fast Life and Tragic Death of a Racing Legend, by Eric Arneson, delves into the life of one of racing's greatest innovators and most successful businessmen, while also chronicling the story of his tragic murder and his family's quest to bring his killer to justice.
