Hi everyone,
First, let me preface this by saying that I am NOT a vendor (obviously) and stand to make nothing off this.
I never heard of the book "Fast Days" until Neil Emiro brought it to my attention. Check it out!
http://www.fast-days.com/
"Fast Days by Joel Jackson presents the unvarnished true history of one of the most unheralded groups in automotive performance engineering. We were the people known as Chrysler-Shelby, Dodge-Shelby, Shelby American, Shelby Automobiles, Group SV, and many other names. We were the designers, fabricators, mechanics, engine builders, crew chiefs, and test drivers that actually designed, built, anddeveloped the automobiles. We raced our nameless grand prix's without praise or glory across dry lake beds, on skid pads, drag strips, and high speed race courses in every part of the country. We battled with steering, brakes, engines, transmissions, tires, wheels, shocks, springs, and chassis. Fighting rain, heat, cold, wind, dust, wrecks, and sometimes each other. We raced across the miles and the years, striving to achieve more than we did the last time. Some did it for a paycheck, while others, conscious of their part in this epic we were racing through, savored the moments, the times to be remembered in the years ahead, these times that I call the FAST DAYS."
The book normally costs $20.94 ($16.99 + $3.95 shipping), with an autograph to YOUR NAME by the author. There is a 40% discount for a purchase of 10 or more books, which brings the price down to $14.15 ($10.20 + $3.95 shipping). I have arranged a deal with the publisher to make the 40% discount available to everyone in the Shelby Dodge community through the end of February. Simply call 903-683-1599 and tell them you are in the limited group buy that Chris arranged. You will be able to customize the autograph as a part of your order, so you can make it out to yourself, a fellow enthusiast, etc.
My copy is in the mail and I'm very excited to receive it and learn more about my car's history. Remember, this offer is over at the end of February!
