If you don't already have a copy, take the time to order "Photographing the
Racers" by Ray Boldt. Ray is a midwesterner who did an extraordinary job
photographing local sportscar races in the late 50s, 60s, and early 70s. He
covered professional and club events at tracks such as Wilmot Hills,
Meadowdale and of course Elkhart Lake/Road America. This book is a
selection of 28 images, beautifully printed, in a modest 6" x 8" pamphlet,
but the quality of the images surpasses many extravagant coffee-table
publications. Included is one of the finest Stirling Moss images I've seen.
Order direct from Ray:

All the usual disclaimers apply -- I have no commercial interest or other
involvement with Ray or his business; I was just blown away by his images
and hope you will be as impressed as I was.
