Sam Posey is known for his originality, and Where the Writer Meets the Road has a format that invites youto see racing and the world of automobiles from a fresh perspective. Posey's book combines many of his best articles along with never-before-seen transcripts from his work in television. There are profiles: of drivers such as Dan Gurney and Parnelli Jones, as well as a photo section that serves as a kind of autobiography, a companion to his classic, The Mudge Pond Express. Posey's experience as a top driver in the 1960s and '70s brings to his work an unmatched degree of credibility and depth, so when he writes about the explosive increase in speed in the late 1960s or the intense competition in the 1970 Trans-Am series, his accounts are vivid and authentic. Over the years, his friends have included the irrepressible Brian Redman, who still races-and wins-in his 70s, and David Hobbs, once a wheel-to-wheel rival on the track, and today, a fellow broadcaster who generously agreed to write the foreword for this book.
