This book is a historical narrative about the 1964 Indianapolis 500. Two excellent race car drivers tragically lost their lives in a fiery, chaotic accident at the end of the second lap, in view of thousands of spectators. The author expertly describes the number of activities, conditions and factors that lead up to that horrible moment, starting with events associated with the 1963 Indianapolis 500. It is rare for a book on racing to have such a sustained, engaging narrative. The arc of the book covers several months and many chapters examine deeply what was then a full month of action at the Speedway.At the center of the story are the two drivers, Eddie Sachs and Dave MacDonald. Both these drivers were excellent and successful. The latter, a veteran; the former a rookie (at Indianapolis). Sachs was outgoing, an extrovert, a salesman, a conversationalist and one very fine race car driver, particularly at Indianapolis (he almost won in 1961). MacDonald was quiet, unassuming, even humble and yet a driver of such natural talent that if he had lived subsequent strong newcomers would have been compared to him.Regarding the book: Garner can write. He knows how to tell a story and structure a chapter so that it moves the plot ahead and keeps the reader interested. He is respectful of his subject. He seeks to be comprehensive; this is no summary of events, this is the full three hour movie, which is so rare in sports' histories.The reader learns much about the Indianapolis 500 circa 1964 and the key competitors of the era including A. J. Foyt, Parnelli Jones, and Jim Clark.I've read it through twice now and have only one small quibble with one small fact that only matters to racing aficionados, Regarding Jim Hurtubise's almost fatal accident a week after the 500, Herk's car did not come to a rest upside down. Mr. Garner, got so much right that I only mention this to demonstrate an unbiased, objective review of an outstanding project.The author has earned and deserves congratulations for a well-researched book, respectful to its subject, written in such a way that it warrants interest beyond the close knit racing world.Highly recommended.

I was fourteen years old in 1964 and followed sports car racing through a couple of magazines and was quite familiar with the excitement Dave McDonald was generating in Cobra and King Cobra racing. My family had been Indy 500 fans forever; and I was excited about the rear-engine revolution imported from European F1. Ford was officially entering racing again, and McDonald looked to be their 'do-it-all' man - he not only raced Cobras, but was making a splash in stock car racing - and this day he was driving his first 500. I was certain that this was a race he would eventually win - if not this year, then some year soon. I was just as sure that Jimmy Clark would set records that would never be beaten in F1, and he had a good shot at winning the 500 this day with that Ford engine screaming behind him. Racing was a fine sport and winter was behind us and we could look forward to a fine summer and forget our prior brooding winter of grief and shame. That 1964 Memorial Day, I was ready to be filled with hope again, having lost so much the previous November. So I was listening to the 1963 Indy 500 on radio when Dave McDonald and Eddie Sachs perished in a huge black cloud that, I didn't realize, would hover over racing for more than two decades. That black cloud was a fitting metaphor for the entire 1960's. Before the decade was out, 50% of the most talented drivers (and statesmen) were gone, friends were dead from combat or car accidents, and it was pretty clear that hope and sanity had shuffled off into oblivion, driven off by confusion, loss and anger. This book provides the beginning details to that somewhat broader picture of America; and it sums up the month of May, 1964, while providing little details that put the time in perspective. Did you know that a top mechanic at the Indy 500 earned only a dollar an hour more than I, at fourteen, made that summer throwing hay bales onto wagons? That whole teams would spend their nights for the entire month sleeping on cots in basements of local Indianopolis people? That important decisions regarding driver and fan safety were made on the grounds that, if 13" tires were allowed, it would make the cars look funny? The book's a good read about a watershed moment in racing

Don't be put off by the title or the cover art. Mr. Garner has written a fine book not just about the 1964 Indianapolis 500, but of the cross currents of history that conspired on that fateful day without glorifying the incidents that took place or wallowing in the gothic tragedy. He certainly covers the accident but handles it as respectfully as it could be expected. More importantly, he writes a true book of history, something sorely missing in motorsports journalism. History is the "who", "where", "when", and most importantly, "why" of our past. So many in the motorsports field simply want to recount what happened without being brave enough to postulate the reasons and giving solid arguments to support those reasons. Mr. Garner puts forth many factors that conspired in 1964; the transition to a new technology (ie, rear-engined cars), the influx of drivers from different racing disciplines, the influx of money in the form of sponsorships and auto manufacturer support and a governing body that did not have the foresight to prepare for these changes. Mr. Garner has also given us a view into the lives of Dave MacDonald and Eddie Sachs (and others) and forces us to realize these were real mean with real lives and real families and yes, real faults, like the rest of us. It has been all to easy for fans over the years to blame one driver for the accident. Mr. Garner shows us that is too simple of an answer and that we should be prepared in the future so that this does not happen again.
