Mopar Book - "Proving Ground"

[Donald Gallimore <dongallimore@xxxxxxx>]

My Christmas present.  Really well done.  The following is an endorsement from 
Bob Frey at dragracecentral.com

And, while I mentioning books, I would like to thank Joe Hilger, the former head 
ofMopar Performance, for hooking me up with a new book titled, "Proving Ground." 
Sub-titled, "A History of Dodge, Chrysler, and Plymouth Racing," it is basically 
a look at the history of Mopar's involvement (or Chrysler Corporation's 
involvement) with motor racing. And even though it has a NASCAR picture on the 
cover, there are lots of great drag racing photos, stories and historical 
moments featured throughout the book. For a guy or girl who loves drag racing, 
and really loves those classic, big, honkin' Hemi cars, this book is perfect. In 
addition to the classic Hemi cars that you would expect to see a book of this 
type, drag racing fans will be glad to note that there are also pictures of 
Bucky Hess, Charlie Westcott Jr. and a few others participating in the 
Hemi-Shootouts at Indy. Cool, huh? Jim Schild is the author and you can find it 
right now on Amazon.com. Hey, there's bound to be some more snow if you live in 
the East or rain if you live out West, so do what I did and be prepared. When 
winters socks it to you, sit back and enjoy a good book on racing.
