This is still inaccurate. The true story isnt told.  |
|
My grandfather was on the manufacturing team for these vehicles, and this book does not tell the full story of its design and fabrication. There are only four members of that fabrication team with us now, and the only member of that team that was crucial to Mr. Hall, Mr. Sharp is not mentioned in this book. This is a disappointment considering the author and the time he spent researching a very closed community of talented indivuduals that helped build motor sports as we know it. The full story is still out there.

The ultimate reference on the cars of Jim Hall  |
|
An incredibly well-researched volume covering some of the most famous race cars of all time. Co-author Falconer at one time owned one of the earliest Chaparrals, so theres no questioning his expertise. The book features hundreds of photos and drawings, mostly from the cars heyday, but theres also a color portfolio showing the cars as they were in the mid-80s, in the collection of Jim Hall. The text comprehensively details the evolution of each Chaparral and its racing history, and pulls back the cloak of secrecy that surrounded Halls cars in the 60s. Several appendices cover the specifications and history of each chassis. The books shortcomings are few: some glaring typos that should have been caught in the proofing process; and practically no mention of the last Chaparral, the 2K Indy car of the early 80s. The book is a must for Chaparral fans, and students of 1960s racing history.

As soon as it was loaded it found six viruses on it straight away and totally cleared up the problems with my computer . Well worth a look for anyone with a virus on their computer!!!
