Brick by Brick
By Patrick Sullivan
For many years Joie Ray's role as a pioneering auto racer in the
1940's and '50s were but a footnote to history. Now, Patrick Sullivan
brings Joie's story to life in this warm, thoroughly
readable offering. Sit back as Joie tells us of the
dangerous--yet intriguing--days of racing's golden era, when
Joie earned the respect of his peers as a kind, gentle soul, yet
he remained a man who could survive the tough, give-no-quarter racing world
of the day.As he tells
Joie's story--with plenty of comments and stories from the man
himself--Sullivan introduces us to the many characters and
players who were prominent in the day. Travel the two-lane
highways with MDTRA and IMCA, and meet unforgettable people such
as Cliff and Florence Griffith, Chick and Dorothy Smith, Bobby and Betty Grim, Hector Honore, Virgil Graybeal, Spider Webb, Wild Bill Cantrell, Al
Sweeney, Harry King, Frank Luptow, Troy Ruttman, and many more. This tale
harkens back to another era, an innocent yet hauntingly
dangerous time populated by characters of the highest order.
When you're finished reading, you'll never forget
Joie Ray, nor the world in which he made his mark.
