Jim Clark: The Best of the Best
by David Tremayne
Jim Clark was a genuine sporting hero. He won 25 of his 72 Grands Prix and in the sixties was the yardstick by which every other driver on the starting grid was judged, and by which they judged themselves. Quite simply, Clark was peerless. Stubborn and notoriously indecisive outside the car, he would nervously chew his fingernails, but he was a genius when he got behind the wheel. To many he remains the greatest racing driver of all time, not just because of his fearsome strike rate and the magnitude and manner of his achievements, but also because he remained humble and unspoiled throughout. Published on the 50th anniversary of Clark-s death, this book, 20 years in the making, is a deeply detailed look at a complex and compelling character.

Bidding has begun!
Earlier this spring, thanks to the efforts of Marshall Pruett and the IndyCar community, over $20,000 was raised for the Wilson Children’s Fund through the auction of autographed copies of Marshall’s photo of the start of the 2017 Indianapolis 500. Each copy bore 46 signatures, including all 33 starters from the 101st running and a selection of racing legends, including Rick Mears, AJ Foyt and Dan Gurney.
Before the auction began, it was discovered that one copy was missing a single, yet very important signature and was held out until the situation could be rectified.
Now that this missing signature has been added, we are offering one final opportunity to acquire an amazing piece of Indianapolis 500 history while helping to secure a promising future for the children of the late Justin Wilson.
Bidding begins today and will close at 12 Noon Central Time, Wednesday, June 27.
