Mickey Thompson: The fast life and tragic death of a racing legend by Erik Anderson 2008, softbound, 296 pages, b&w photos Most of us probably recognize the name Mickey Thompson from drag racing or the mag wheel company. But he was much more involved in motor sports than that. He ran cars at the Indy 500, held various land speed records at Bonneville with cars of his own design, promoted and participated in off-road racing. This is the story of his dynamic life, and his tragic murder in 1988. -- Bill Mennell     Back to Books List ©2004 Chicagoland MG Club, All rights reserved.
