Great pictures, needs more technical detail

Great pics of a great era in racing and good historical recaps of each season. But the meat that this book is missing is the technical details of the cars and how they were prepared. Also would have been nice to have more behind the scenes details of the teams and factory backing. While everyone is familiar with big names of the era, it would have been interesting to get a look at some of the independant cars that were being campaigned and what life was like for those guys. All in all though, a great book if you are a muscle car fan of the 60's.

too many photos-not technical enough

This is a great book if all you want to do is look at the body type and nothing underneath the sheetmetal. So many manufacturers created high performance parts specifically for t/a racing that this book never shows you. A picture of a complete or even dissassembled tunnel port boss 302, t/a 340, amc 390, or Datsun OR ANY ENGINE would be nice. Also, other sources have these cars as being very colorful with lots of unique graphics that black and white photos do no justice to. Finally, many of the pictures seem to repeat themselves. The same car rounding the same type of turns ect...

Terrific!

This book is essential reading for fans of the real Trans-Am. Lots of great pics, lots of quotes from the drivers, mechanics, and team owners.
