Foreword by Bobby Rahal. With 216 color and black-and-white photographs. Bobby
Rahal reminisces fondly about his formative years in Formula Atlantic from
1975?78. ?We were like a band of gypsies driving across Canada to the Atlantic
races in those days,? Bobby recalls. ?We met many people along the way who are
still good friends of mine today, guys like James King, Tom Gloy, Tom Klausler
and Cliff Hansen. We were all young guys in our early twenties and we travelled
together with our cars and little trailers. For me, it was my post-graduate
studies after college. ?There were a lot of people in the Atlantic series at
that time who had visions of going on to bigger and better things. Guys like
Gilles Villeneuve and Keke Rosberg went on to become top-flight Formula 1
drivers and guys like Gloy, Klausler and James King went on to achieve a lot in
the sport. It was a fantastically productive formula and Gordon Kirby tells its
story with authority and enthusiasm. It?s a great read!?
