Liverpool City Raceway: The Place of Pace 1967 - 1989 (signed by the author)

Liverpool City Raceway: The Place of Pace 1967 - 1989- buy the book from the Automoto Bookshop



This edition is limited to 1000 copies individually numbered and signed by Tony Loxley.
Book Description

The colour, the excitement and the magnificent contribution Liverpool City Raceway made to Australian speedway history has been captured in a new book soon to be released by author Tony Loxley.

Titled Liverpool City Raceway: the Place of Pace 1967-1989, this book covers the incredible era of the venue in 352 gloss pages of words and superb photos.

"Originally I only wanted to do 220 pages, but soon found that the quality of images and fantastic interest from former competitors ensured that more pages needed to be added ... and more, and more," Loxley explained.
"There was something unique about Liverpool that no other track was able to duplicate ... and I've been to most of them.
"No racetrack matched Liverpool in relation to the publicity it gained throughout its lifetime. It may have run for only 22 years, but it had an impact around the world like no other... and it was a quarter-mile track in the outskirts of Sydney.
"Who would have thought this track in a place called Green Valley could have pulled such enormous crowds week in, week out right up until it closed its gates in 1989?
"The Sydney Showground Royale was the most cherished of Australia's speedway venues, but in all honesty, Liverpool was right behind it. The fact that it went from a flat dirt track, to a high-banked pavement surface, and then back to a high-banked clay surface -and stayed successful, will never be repeated again."
"Mike Raymond's words are just brilliant ... he has told the Liverpool story just like it was.
"The Place of Pace - in my opinion - is the finest work ever put together on Australian speedway racing, and is certainly my favourite book thus far. The track had an enormous impact on my life, and was the source of some of my most cherished childhood and teenage memories," Loxley concluded.

Rear Vision: An Autobiography of Pedr Davis

Rear Vision: An Autobiography of Pedr Davis - Buy the book from the Automoto Bookshop

Book Description

During six decades of motor journalism, Pedr Davis knew Stirling Moss when he was a tyro, wrote articles for Jack Brabham and was chauffeured at high speed by five-time World Formula One Champion, Juan Manuel Fangio.

He has tested prototype cars in East Africa against a background of Mau Mau terrorism and chatted with industry legends. In a memorable 1962 interview, motorcycle-maker Soichiro Honda told Davis of his plans to make 'the best cars in the world' and predicted that Japan would become the world's leading caretaker.

Davis was one of the few journalists allowed to drive the first real car, the 1885 Benz, and the first journalist to drive the car powered by Ralph Sarich's amazing engine.

His story is packed with anecdotes and fascinating snapshots of such characters as`Abe Safron, Leslie Thiess, Soichiro Honda and Dick Smith. He followed the demise of BMC, the highs and lows of Holden and Toyota's incredible climb from obscurity to best seller.

Rear Vision charts the adventures of a singular man of Welsh background and his expansive work in television, book-writing and publishing.
