CarTech SAD-CT549 Lost Road Courses Book by Martin Rudow

Lost Road Courses by Martin Rudow is a comprehensive tribute to the classic road racing circuits of North America that have long since closed their gates. Published by CarTech Books, this title chronicles more than 16 defunct tracks across the United States and Canada, tracing road racing's golden age from the 1950s and 1960s through the forces that ultimately shuttered these legendary venues.

Key Features:

• Covers more than 16 closed North American road courses, including Riverside International Raceway, Bridgehampton Race Circuit, Ontario Motor Speedway, Continental Divide Raceway, Green Valley Raceway, and Edmonton International Speedway
• Written by Martin Rudow — road racer, road racing expert, and publisher of Vintage Drift magazine
• Profiles legendary drivers including Mario Andretti, Parnelli Jones, Jim Hall, A.J. Foyt, Al Unser, Jim Clark, and Dan Gurney
• Covers iconic race teams: Chaparral, McLaren, Bud Moore, Lotus, Penske, and more
• Chronicles major series that competed at these tracks: Trans-Am, Can-Am, IndyCar, Formula 1, and sports car racing
• Explores the visionaries and investors who built these circuits — and the factors that led to their closure
• Features archival period photography of racing action plus modern color photos of the sites as they appear today
• Pays tribute to unsung regional racers, crew members, and track workers

Rudow personally traveled more than 8,000 miles visiting the former track sites across eleven states and one Canadian province to research this book. Lost Road Courses is an essential read for fans of vintage sports car racing, Can-Am, Trans-Am, IndyCar, and Formula 1 history.
