Must Read Book

Got this for xmas, and it is an absolutely great read:

Winning: The Racing Life of Paul Newman. Hard to admire the guy more than I already did, but I sure do now.

I'm going to have to add this one to my must read list.

PLN was an upright guy, a class act, and a real humanatarian. I had the opportunity of meeting him and his wife, JoAnne, in the paddock in 1985 at the SCCA Runoffs at Road Atlanta. He will be missed...

Oh, that looks like it'd be a great read! I loved him, anyway, and do miss him. Thanks 4 the suggestion, Gromit!

Is it all wine and roses? Does he talk about low points in his racing career?

The book is many people's views and remembrances of Paul's racing. Some of it is the low spots.
