In today's buttoned-up and professional sports car racing world, it's nice to see an old-world military base airstrip track still in use. It's bumpy and there's …

I want to begin by mentioning that I purchased this book over a year ago ahead of the 2016 holiday season, and it just arrived at my doorstep yesterday.

Interestingly, the 908/2 started as a …
