While we're on the subject of old Bville stuff -- one of the members of this Forum has donated an original edition print of the paperback Michigan Thompson - Challenger book. He sent it to me and I'm part way through my "proofread" of it. It is way cool.
The guy that donated it wants me to auction it off to those of you on the Forum for his out-of-pocket cost plus whatever I can get as a donation for the site. It does have a bunch of photos in it. It's co-written by Mickey and Griffith Borgeson. I'll finish it in a few days and put a photo or two of it up on the site (elsewhere). But since it has old photos -- here's your first mention of it on this site.
The asking price is going to start at $25. I'll get to it soon, and maybe you'll soon have a great historical book for your land speed racing library.
