INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE
Never judge a book by its cover.
To turn is to admit defeat.
Keep moving.
CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES
Hurley: I have no experience in writing a book. So it was hard to give that trust to Sean and hope that he could create a book that I could be proud of. It was hard to put some of the more private moments of my life in print for everyone to see.
Sean: I’ve written a lot of articles that are several thousand words long. This project was different because it was Hurley’s project, and I had to find Hurley’s voice in all of this documentation. It took awhile for it to click and come together.
BEST BOOK WRITING ADVICE
Hurley: Be patient!
Sean: Sit down, put your fingers on the keyboard and move them!
PARTING WORDS OF ADVICE

Awesome book. I had the joy of having one of my photos of Hurley at Watkins Glen during an IROC race in the 80’s included in this work of art. Great book with lots of amazing photos and intriguing back stories behind the scenes in the life and career of a racing legend.
Ordered the book. Cant wait to read it!
Hurley was my driver at the Porsche Driving Experience at the Amelia Island Concours 2021. Ride of my life!
