Trade Review
"Captures the excitement of the early twentieth century automotive industry and the automobile racing tournaments held on the beaches of Ormond and Daytona Beach. In the process, Punnett effectively separates truth from fiction." - Daniel Pierce, author of White Liquor and Red Clay: NASCAR in the Era of "Big" Bill France "Punnett not only sets the record straight on the Ormond-Daytona Beach initial racing tournaments, he does it in a very readable style that will hold the interest of both the serious historian and the inquisitive fan." - Russell Jaslow, autoracinghistory.com"
