For everyone who's ever wanted to know what it's really like to get behind the wheel of a racecar, automotive enthusiast Brock Yates lived the dream, and lived to tell about it. You'll smell the fumes and feel the heat rising from the track as Brock takes the reader through a refresher course at Bob Bondurant's high-performance driving school, then off to Watkins Glen, Michigan Motor Speedway, and across the country on an unsanctioned, hair-raising thirty-six-hour race from New York to Los Angeles. Sunday Driver is the perfect companion for anyone who has felt the need for speed, or just marveled as they watched their favorite driver race around the track at death-defying speed and wondered what it would feel like to be in the driver's seat.

This was my time when I was just out of High School and having fun. I lived each race including the Big One, "The Canonball Express". What a way to flip their nose at Society.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the shortest reads of my life!
Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2009

Not only because the pages kept coming at almost the same pace as the author (sounds clichéd, but it really was a very fast paced book and seemed I read it in no-time!), but also because I had a real blast learning the details on every car he jumped in.
Mainly, it tells the story of how a motoring journalist that could barely drive at the beggining of the book, took some proper driving lessons at a racetrack, did some amateur races, and how he eventually struggled to race in the very competitive TransAm series in a top private team.
He never quite cuts it as a racer, but just being there as a co-pilot is a real joy to read, specially when you see that this is not political correctness at all costs, and the guy simply says what he thinks spontaneously. Like for instance, when he retires with a car that hasn't been properly reapaired (or at least that's what he feels) and after one promoter likes to have a go and do some laps in the car, the author hopes that the promoter never goes nearly as fast as he did. This makes for a very honest and fresh (by today's standards) read.
Finally, the writer ends the book by becoming a car-nut hero to many by winning (co-driving with American driving legend, Dan Gurney) the first edition of the Cannonball race.
The Cannonball race is only a small epilogue or rather, a nice introduction to Yates' following book of this (in)famously named race.

Wonderful memories of the Glen during that time frame. I was flagging at that time, and remember many of the Finger Lakes people mentioned.
