Art Evans was a sports car racer in the 1950s on the West Coast who raced against, and became close friends with, Carroll Shelby. Their intense competition on the track became a lifelong friendship off the track. He and Shelby collaborated on many business projects over the years, including books, marketing projects, projects for the Shelby Foundation, and so on. In his later years, Shelby loved the books about his cars and similar topics, but his eyesight was failing to the point where he had difficulty reading, and really preferred the books that were heavy with photos.

One Last Turn
The 1950s, '60s, and '70s were fabulous times in American road racing, particularly in the USRRC and Can-Am series. While most of the attention, then and now, focuses on the great cars and drivers, often the most fascinating stories and keenest insights come from the men behind the scenes: the builders, mechanics, tuners and pit crewmen who supported the big names and cars. Now, as their ranks are thinning and before memories have faded entirely, racing historians and enthusiasts Dave Gaddis and Martin Rudow have scoured the country to give these men "one last turn," recording their stories and capturing the recollections that make up a fascinating part of those great days of racing.Some of the famous drivers associated with the mechanics include: Dan Gurney, Phil Hill, Stirling Moss, Parnelli Jones, Carroll Shelby, Bruce McLaren, Ken Miles, Peter Revson, Jackie Stewart, Sam Posey, and Mario Andretti.
