HEAVY METAL
The pursuit of gold through BriSCA F1 stock car racing’s rock ‘n’ roll years
By Neil Randon
Paperback – 246mm x 171mm – 256 pages
F1 stock car drivers compete in one of the most spectacular forms of motorsport in Britain.
The popularity of F1 stock car racing surged in the 1960s and continued – despite the country’s economic upheavals – through the 1970s and into the 1980s.
HEAVY METAL tells the story of some of the leading drivers of that era striving to win gold – notably Stuart Smith, who would become the man to beat and the ultimate showman, his life-long friend Doug Cronshaw, an unassuming hero with a huge and loyal northern fan base, and Willie Harrison, a veteran who raced through four decades despite debilitating injuries suffered as a young child.
It also includes the stories behind other famous names of the past and takes a look back at some of BriSCA F1s most memorable and, in some cases, most notorious races.
