Default Book: Corvette Racing Legends - The Story of the L88 Option Package

www.theL88corvette.com

I've been looking to get some Corvette books to peruse when I'm not on the road and this looks like the most interesting one I've found thus far.

Has anyone read this book / any other good books to recommend?
I have a 1972 myself that I'm looking to build into a L88 / road race style vette but I'm open to any and all recommendations.

While the book is a little pricey I have it and really enjoy reading it. The pictures are great. I would suggest it.

This is a great thread if you haven't seen it already. Maybe one of the best threads ever. Check it out. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c3-g...race-pics.html

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm definitely considering picking up the book along with Guldstrand's as well.

Just went through the whole thread. More hot and bothered about road race vettes than I was before!

I second that It is a Great book,I was one of the first to get my copy signed direct from the author when it first came out, It is the Best Corvette Racing book along with The Grand Sport Friedman Book and Friedman/Guldstrand Corvette Thunder book.

www.corvetteracingbook.com www.427copocamaro.com www.thechevroletcamaro.com

there was suppose to be a Book by Dave Kimble(The Illustrator) and Photos several of them contributed by Dr.Pete Gimenez called Corvette Racing From Sebring To Le Mans Six Generations of Corvette Racing by Motorbooks it's on Amazon.com first it was going to be May 2011,192 Pages, but then got pushed to Dec 2011 and Now it might come Jan 2012. I was really look forward to it:

also Corvette Racing The GT1 Years By Nigel S Dobbie is good.
