Reviews
This is a terrific book about a relatively unsung genius of motorsport and I recommend it without reservation. It's beautifully written, superbly illustrated, and a credit to author and subject., For sure a leading contender in any Book of the Year contest and one that no inquisitive and self-respecting enthusiast should ignore. There's only one thing I would take issue with, and that's the sub-subtitle, 'There's always a better way.' In the case of this masterpiece, that isn't possible...
Synopsis
One of the greatest drivers of his generation, Jim Hall is even better known as an innovator. From tiny Chaparral Cars in Midland, Texas emerged a series of vehicles that changed the face of racing. His high-winged Chaparral 2E Can-Am car and 2F World Sportscar Championship contender may be the most influential race vehicles of the 20th century. Today, every Formula 1 car uses net downforce, driver-adjustable wings, composite chassis, side-mounted radiators, semi-automatic gearboxes and advanced telemetry to optimize vehicle performance - all things Chaparral pioneered in the mid-1960s. Here he tells his story - his life, his cars, his relationship with Chevrolet, his partnership with Hap Sharp, his battles with sanctioning body bureaucracies - for the first time to award-winning author George Levy in this authorized biography., Jim Hall tells his entire story -- his life and his cars -- for the first time to award-winning author George Levy in this authorized biography., One of the greatest drivers of his generation, Jim Hall is even better known as an innovator. From tiny Chaparral Cars in Midland, Texas emerged a series of vehicles that changed the face of racing. His high-winged Chaparral 2E Can-Am car and 2F World Sportscar Championship contender may be the most influential race vehicles of the 20th century. Today, every Formula 1 car uses net downforce, driver-adjustable wings, composite chassis, side-mounted radiators, semi-automatic gearboxes and advanced telemetry to optimize vehicle performance -- all things Chaparral pioneered in the mid-1960s. First-ever book in which Hall tells his own story. The massive influence of his introduction of net downforce to racing, which is now incorporated into the design of every major type of four-wheel competition vehicle. How Hall shocked the world with innovative designs that won in every series in which they competed, including Can-Am, Trans-Am, the World Sportscar Championship, Formula 5000, United States Road Racing Championship, Canadian Sports Car Championship and the Indianapolis 500. How Jim and John Barnard created the Chaparral 2K "Yellow Submarine" that won the Indianapolis 500 and USAC national championship, setting the template for the modern Indy car. The massive resistance Jim faced from teams and sanctioning bodies intent on outlawing his legal but game-changing innovations. The connection to Chevrolet and the crucial role Chaparral Cars played in the defense of GM during the Corvair trials of the mid-1960s. How Hall became a national celebrity, with Newsweek and Sports Illustrated covers, Coca-Cola commercials, and millions of "Jim Hall Authorized" slot cars and model kits. Text based on the author's extensive interviews with over 100 racing standouts, including Jim and Sandy Hall, Roger Penske, Jackie Stewart, Dan Gurney, Sam Posey, Brian Redman, Phil Hill, Al and Bobby Unser, Bernie Ecclestone, Johnny Rutherford, Gordon Murray, Adrian Newey, Gil de Ferran, Mario Andretti, Bob Lutz and Tony Southgate. Big, beautiful and packed with facts and anecdotes, the book is lavishly illustrated with period photographs by many of the world's best motorsports photographers, including Pete Biro, Bernard Cahier, Hal Crocker, Dave Friedman, Pete Lyons, Dan Boyd, Lionel Birnbom and Pulitzer Prize winner Bob Jackson. In Texas Legend , Jim Hall tells his story -- his life, his cars, his relationship with Chevrolet, his partnership with Hap Sharp, his battles with sanctioning body bureaucracies -- for the first time to award-winning author George Levy in this authorized biography.
