"SpeedTV.com, " May 2007 "One of Scalzo's greatest gifts is his ability to find exceptional quotes ... Photo captions are difficult to write well. Scalzo is exceptional at it ... Scalzo complements his captions with exceptional prose in the book itself. "City of Speed" is indeed a great read. Joe Scalzo's refreshing writing style earns four out of five lugnuts." "Edmonds.com, " May 2007 "You'll probably forget to look at the photos as you're reading. The writing is funny and snarky, and you'll feel like you've been let into a secret club whose members included Mickey Thompson and Carroll Shelby, with membership meetings at Bonneville and Riverside International Raceway. There's nitty-gritty about life in the day - the players, the locations to see and be seen at, and the innards of the cars; plus there's coverage of races (both formal and impromptu ones). We think Chapter three's title gives the best taste of what you're in for: 'Dung Beetles, Junkyard Hounds, Poisonous Vipers, Big Cucumbers and Jumpin' Jugheads.'" "Victory Lane, " May 2007 "From the vivid red and yellow racy cover to the contents with its treasure trove of racing stories and photos, this book well presents the sunshine drenched era which was the home base for many outstanding racing personalities, cars, and speed parts and in which hundreds of tracks were in operation.
