Brock Yates is a very lively writer who would be fun to read but who knows exactly what kind of book should be written? Where is the market? It all depends on how detailed a book you want. If all you want is race victories listed and serial numbers, that's not a Yates style book--that is more of a Ronnie Spain type thing, a one car per page ararnged by serial number thing. /QUOTE]

I know Yates (in fact, I am in Sunday Driver, I was an Agor Racing "gofer") and he can't write it as he cannot figure out how to use "Shibboleth", "Usurp" and "Yeasty stream of consciousness" in the text regarding the 427!

He is "persona non grata" in Italy for suggesting the Laura Ferrari (Enzo's wife, not one of his mistrisses) was a common prostitute prior to marrying Enzo.
