Too many mistakes
I am a Paul Tracy fan since his early Indy Lights days and was excited to see a book written about him. I wanted to know a little bit more about him and I think I have from the book, but there are too many mistakes in the book. In one chapter, Paul debuts for Team Penske at Michigan International Speedway in 1991, which is right, but in the next chapter his debut at MIS happened in 1992, which is wrong. His famous hero dance occured after winning in Long Beach, not Houston. There are at least sixmistakes concerning the Indianapolis 500. The pictures are good.

Never Too Fast and Rarely Personal
As a huge Paul Tracy and CART fan, I looked forward to reading this book about one of the most controversial drivers on the circuit, hoping to get an up close and personal view of the driver and what makes him tick.I was disappointed. Mr. Ferriss seems to spend most of the time waving the Canadian Flag, sugar coating interviews, and reporting race results that could have been gotten from the newspaper and enthusiast publications. Compared to the driver's actual life, this book doesn't even come close to having anything controversial. In actuality, for the length of the book, there really aren't that many quotes from direct interviews with Paul. It appears to me, that Paul had very little input on this book project. We do learn that Paul wants his privacy.If so, why bother writing about him?
