From the Author
NEWS ON THE SEQUEL!
It's finally finished! The long-promised sequel to THE LASTOPEN ROAD will be coming out! Hey, it took me a little while, OK? Titled MONTEZUMA'S FERRARI, it follows Buddy, Julie, Big Ed, Cal Carrington, Tommy Edwards, Creighton Pendleton III, Skippy Welcher, Sally Enderle, Old Man Finzio, and the rest of THE LAST OPEN ROAD gang (plus some great new characters) on a high octance roller coaster ride through the motorsports world of the early 1950s. I'm also thrilled to report that THE LAST OPEN ROAD was selected by the editors of England's prestigious CLASSIC & SPORTS CAR magazine as one of the top, 'must have' motor enthusiast books ever published in their April 1999 issue. What an honor! (Guess I'll be out shopping for a bigger helmet this spring!) Thanks again for all the wonderful comments and support for the cast and adventures in THE LAST OPEN ROAD, and I promise more of the same in MONTEZUMA'S FERRARI. Watch for it! END --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Superb. Funny, nostalgic, perceptive.,
By
This review is from: The Last Open Road (Hardcover)
The best piece of racing fiction I've ever read.The tale of how 18 year old Buddy Palumbo falls in with the East Coast sports car racing scene in the early 50s (losing his virginity on the way) is wise, witty, warm and written with a razor-sharp eye for character and detail. It's a book about racing and racers, a statement about class and money in America (and the difference between the two), a piece of fifties nostalgia, a charming coming-of-age tale, and an absolutely brilliant read. "Catcher in the Rye" with overhead cams. Fantastic.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The greatest book I have ever read, Huck Finn and all!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Last Open Road (Hardcover)
There is a certain masterly humorous way in which this author not only writes, but views the world. The Last Open Road far transcends car racing. This is a book about coming of age in both mind and body (Buddy Palumbo's and a few others). If ever one could wish himself into a role as a character in a novel, this is it. To us younger readers, sportscar racing in the 1950's seems like a swashbuckling experience that I am sorry I couldn't participate in...This book is simply marvelous!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Superb recreation of grassroots racing and the time era.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Last Open Road (Hardcover)
To a early-twenties person, like myself,it is a perfect recreation of the 1950s grassroots race scene and a early 50's love story. It surrounds the New Jersey open-road race circuit of the 1950's through the eyes of a young garage mechanic with a going passion for foreign cars and his new girlfriend.
