"I think I can speak for many in the race car business when I say that George was highly underrated as a driver. I would put him in the category of being one hell of a race driver." -Parnelli Jones "Publisher Ed Justice, Jr. and the author have teamed up to produce a tome that will be of keen interest to anyone who was a fan of Trans-Am, Can-Am and the racing of the ‘70s and ‘80s. . . a well-done book.” -Gordon Maltby, Porsche 356 Registry “One of the best edited and illustrated books of the year and a great racing take on a great racing driver.” -Dan Davis, VICTORY LANE magazine “It’s as if you were sitting down with Follmer himself as he bench-races through his career. . . a nice tribute to a notable motorsports career.” -Mark Wigginton, SPORTS CAR MARKET magazine “The whole story about one of our greatest ever road racers, and beyond that, the rich history of a couple of wonderful decades in motorsport. If you are a real racing fan, you must order this book.” -Matt Stone, former editor of MOTOR TREND CLASSIC magazine
