If you're a racer, a race
fan, a hot rodder, a businessman...heck, just about anybody who
loves going fast will enjoy "Fast Company." Speedy Bill Smith is
an icon in both auto racing and the world of automotive
performance, and now he opens up to share the many great stories
and experiences of his amazing, unlikely life. He survived a
couple of near-death experiences (literally), parlayed $300 into
a performance empire, chased race cars and hot rods from
coast-to-coast, rubbing shoulders with countless characters and
rascals over the past 60 years.
This is an American success
story...a little off-color, a little politically-incorrect, and
a little over the top. As a car owner, Speedy Bill raced to win,
and didn't mind if he got under the skin of his competitors...in
fact, he LOVED getting them fired up. Along the way he won too
many races to count, made a ton of friends (and maybe just a few
who weren't so friendly), and rewrote the record books on many
occasions.
Over the past ten years, Dave
Argabright has teamed up with some of racing's greatest
personalities...Brad Doty, Jack Hewitt, Earl Baltes, Chris
Economaki, and Doug Wolfgang. You'll find Dave's unmistakable
style on these pages, and you'll hear Speedy Bill's voice in
every word.
Jan Opperman? The real story.
Surviving in business? The unvarnished truth about what it
takes. Rough-and-tumble racing? Without pulling a punch. Wild
and outrageous people? Right here, in the flesh.
More than anything, this is a book that
will entertain and inform you. No B.S., no sugar-coating...just the
world according to Speedy Bill!
