    THE LAST OPEN ROAD
    by B. S. Levy
I think it was printed in 1994 in Oak Park and is about 400 or so pages, sorry, no pictures, it’s a novel. If you haven’t read this, do, and if you have, do it again! Burt is not paying me to say this. I loved it so much I read it twice. It describes the glory days of American sportscar racing, the early 50’s, with a unique first-person approach. Very entertaining.
