Von der hinteren Coverseite
Mickey Thompson: The Fast Life and Tragic Death of a Racing Legend goes beyond the grisly headline stories covering the mysterious 1988 murder of Thompson and his wife to tell the complete story of a full-throttle driver, an innovative car builder, a tireless motorsports promoter, and a businessman extraordinaire who succeeded in nearly every form of racing.
Mickey Thompson was a charismatic American go-getter . . . a trailblazer with an infectious and stimulating love for the automobile. He was a huge credit to southern California hot rod racing. He and his wife, Trudy, are missed to this day, and it is nice to see a book published recording for history the many contributions he made to the sport of motor racing.
-Dan Gurney, first driver to win races in Formula One, NASCAR, and Indy cars
We all knew Mickey Thompson was great, but I didnt realize how amazing and revolutionary he was to the world of racing. I was stuck to this book. I couldnt wait until the next chapter to learn more about this remarkable man.
-Don The Snake Prudhomme, four-time NHRA Funny Car champion
