What compels a young man or woman to spend ungodly amounts of time and money driving a racecar every weekend at the local track, risking life and limb at 150 miles per hour, entertaining friends and total strangers? The author felt he had to find out after witnessing the tragic wreck that killed Boston-area driver Shane Hammond at Thompson International Speedway. Trackrat explores a slice of American culture, the short track racing obsession and how the author became a fan. Cardwraps. B/w photos. 244 pages. ISBN: 9781491065402. Slight grubbiness to lower edge of text block else contents clean.
