road racing at its best

This is the definitive book on motor sport in Western Canada and is a must read for anyone who has been involved or is in any way interested in the sport. Tom Johnston, an engineer by training, spent nearly fifty years racing at most of the circuits he documents. He displays a thorough knowledge of the sport and the people involved. In 1998 he was inducted into the Canadian Mortorsport Hall of Fame. Of particular interest is the author's personal chronicle of his own racing, from his first Austin Healey Sprite and then a Lola imported from England in the 1960s to the cars he built and raced and the cars he continues to race. This personal account adds a dimension that brings the book alive. His anecdotes and ever presen sense of humour keep the reader turning the pages. I highly recommend this book. M. H. Gaumond
