Synopses & Reviews
A splendid collection of photographs displaying the Novi V-8 Racing Car. Few cars of any kind have exuded the charismatic appeal of the great Novi V-8 racing cars that competed in at Indianapolis from 1941 to 1965. First a front wheel car, it earned the reputation for wicked handling by killing two of its drivers. Despite that, the Novis were so fast that more racers were always willing to take them on.
Synopsis
Splendid archival imagery and detailed captions depict the Indy cars that were powered by these brutish, centrifugally supercharged race engines.
