Karl Ludvigsen's 3 volume masterwork on the history of supercharging & turbocharging has finally arrived in the USA!
I've been waiting for this since 2010 when he first announced he was writing it.
Three jacketed hardbacks in a slipcase.
1,960 pages.
3,567 photographs and diagrams.
Motorsport magazine calls it Ludvigsen's "Sistine Chapel".
List price $545 but I pre-ordered at $355.

When I was young, I dreamed of being a race car driver. Like most guys back then, we began in Formula Ford. Some young Andretti kids were also starting out at the same time. On one glorious day in 1981, I actually beat both Michael and John Andretti ! And also Chip Robinson, who later became a professional IMSA driver. OK, they crashed out, I was the last car running, and l got lapped too. My race driver dreams didn't last long, but I can say I beat two Andretti's in one race 😉
