Sam Posey with John Posey I never heard of learning racing lines by pulling model cars on strings but that was Sam Posey’s school room – followed by buying a 300SL, aged 14. Typical of the unexpected tales he throws up in this scrapbook of short, snappy stories, told with the same crisp frankness whether it’s flops or fanfares. From the glamour of Can-Am and Le Mans and Penske Ferraris to sitting in a truck full of turtles or being attacked by Peter Revson, Posey is matter of fact about all of it, including the Parkinsons that stopped him racing. A refreshing change from lengthy, completist biographies.
