About this book

Finding the Groove features enlightening interviews with 27 leading drivers of the 1970s. From NASCAR and Indy all the way to drag and street racing, author Hal Higdon explores American racing in all its forms. In each chapter, Higdon asks the drivers: "How do you go fast around a racetrack?" Find out how "The King" Richard Petty has collected a record number of poles and top ten finishes and how Mario Andretti's mastery over the "groove" made him one of the sport's most legendary drivers. Learn from Mark Donohue, Al and Bobby Unser, Bobby Allison, Don "the Snake" Prudhomme, and others on where to pinpoint that sweet spot on the track in this throwback edition of Finding the Groove.

Man in the White Suit: The Stig, Le Mans, the Fast Lane, and Me
<p>When the Black Stig disappeared off the end of an aircraft carrier in 2003, we were introduced to The White Stig. Faster. Stranger. Harder to keep clean. And ever since, millions have wondered--who is the Man in the White Suit? They're about to find out.</p><p>Ben Collins caught the car the bug young, kicking his dad's boss in the balls for not giving him a company Jag. This was the attitude that eventually led him to spend seven years sharing a cabin with Jeremy Clarkson's underwear, James May's PhD thesis, and Richard Hammond's hairspray. Because he is the Stig.</p><p>Now he tells all about life inside the iconic white helmet. What it's like to guide a blind ex-RAF officer around the Top Gear track; pit a drug dealer's Mitsubishi Evo against a Trojan tank; set a Vauxhall Monara against Chloe the dancing Ninja; and race double-decker Routemasters against bendy buses--not to mention all the inside stuff on how the show's amazing driving sequences are made.</p><p>He also reveals how he got to be there--setting a Dunsfold lap time faster than Michael Schumacher's. Breaking records with the best of the best at Daytona and Le Mans.</p><p>It's an awesome story, told by an amazing man.</p>
