This book tells the story of the reckless  dispossessed young men who raced not for fame or money-there was none-but for \"the sheer unvarnished hell of it.\" Brock Yates has been writing for Car and Driver for more than thirty years and is one of the best-known people in the racing world. He raced his own car for a season in a Plimpton-like adventure recorded in Sunday Driver  one of his six books. He has published widely  from Playboy to the Wall Street Journal  and has appeared on every major television network as both a racing and automotive industry commentator. An evocative writer with an absolute command of the period  Brock integrates unexpected and fascinating detail into a character-driven story of men compelled to compete against themselves  time  and death. Brocks Dutch-like strategy of a fictional narrator observing  interrogating  and reporting on his real-life protagonists imparts the immediacy of fiction to this minutely accurate account. Black-and-white photographs are featured.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45953226047541,"sku":"ByrdShop_1560255269","price":21.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781560255260.jpg?v=1788182155","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/against-death-and-time-one-fatal-season-in-racings-glory-years-9781560255260","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
