The Ford Racing Century: A Photographic History of Ford's Factory Race Program by Larry Edsall, Mike Teske
This oversized book is a photo-driven look at Ford's voluminous racing history in America. This rich history

at the Detroit Driving Club and covers racing through today. The book includes great Ford racing stories
such as the Miller Ford Indy program, development of the Gurney-Westlake Ford V-8, and the 1962–70 Ford Total
Performance program, the Trans-Am racing program, the NASCAR racing program, the rich Ford drag racing
history, land speed record Fords, the Shelby programs, the GT-40, and even a section on sport compact drag
racing today.
