“NEW OTHER” History of Amc Motorsports:Trans-Am, Quarter-Mile, NASCAR, Bonneville and More. Condition New Other: Book Store display. May have signs of use. When thinking of a manufacturer's racing involvement, AMC is not a manufacturer that immediately comes to mind. Yet even from the very beginning of American motorsports, the companies that became AMC had some serious involvement in motorsport. From the early Nash and Hudson models all the way through the muscle car era, AMC had direct involvement in racing. The success of Nash and Hudson in early NASCAR racing, AMC Javelins in Trans-Am racing, and AMC's involvement with Mark Donahue and Roger Penske in both their Trans-Am and 1970s NASCAR teams prove that AMC was “in it to win it.” The History of AMC Motorsports from veteran racing journalist Bob McClurg covers it all, from a Nash–American Motors corporate history, the first years of NASCAR, the 1960s efforts that included Trans-Am and drag racing Super Stock programs, to the Craig Breedlove land speed record efforts when 106 world records were shattered and covered by Hot Rod magazine. And let's not forget the 1970s Trans-Am championships with Donahue and Penske, and finally the NASCAR success with Bobby Allison in the always-curious looking Matador, which is also covered here. Never before has a single volume chronicled the events that encompass AMC racing history. Whether a hardcore racing history fan or a casual enthusiast of the AMC street offerings, The History of AMC Motorsports provides a unique showcase vital to every enthusiast's library. REVIEW: The History of AMC Motorsports takes a thorough look at how a comparatively small manufacturer got fully-involved in a variety of motorsports disciplines and in that process its cars and drivers turned more than a few disbelieving heads. So, if a 'little-engine-that-could- kind-of-story' is one that you like, this book is for you., Without any question, this is a definitive work on the unexpectedly rich history of America's last automotive independent., I was overwhelmed by the attractiveness of the cover and the magnitude of the work. All l can say is that the author has done a magnificent job and captured the essence of the American motors program and acknowledged the individuals and the work that they accomplished on behalf of that program., Any fan of AMC history, performance car history and the legends behind them will enjoy the ride with McClurg behind the controls.
