AUTHOR’S OWN LIMITED EDITION DELIVERED WITH 100 LAND SPEED RACER AUTOGRAPHS COLLECTED PERSONALLY BY THE AUTHOR |
Exclusive Racer Autographed Hard Cover edition to honor the first Bonneville Nationals held by the Southern California Timing Association – August 1949
Each edition with have the author’s signature and number rank (1 of 49, 2 of 49, et al). The books are the last of the cloth, hard cover editions that the author has been dragging around for several years getting signatures from the land speed racing greats who graciously agreed to help put this project together.
The books are a bit scuffed and the pages have been flipped nearly 100 times each as every person signed their name. Care has been taken to keep the books as pristine as possible, but there is some visual wear from all the handling. Please contact us in advance to order a specific numbered edition and arrange correct shipping.
Louise Ann Noeth’s Bonneville Salt Flats was awarded the James Valentine Award in 2002 presented by Society of Automotive Historians Southern California Chapter in recognition of accuracy in automotive historical research.
Released in 1999, the hard cover and limited slipcase editions sold out in 2006. The soft cover sold out at Speedweek 2010 — the last copy going to a member of Dennis Varni’s Speed Nymph streamliner team. It’s been a great run! 7 printings over 11 years.
