John Wright is an author and past racer who started driving in 1970 and after a self-described, undistinguished record, and running out of racing funds, switched from racing to writing about the drivers, mechanics, and builders in the sport. Initially, John’s stories of Canadian drivers and cars were published in the Canadian publication ‘Old Autos’ in Bothwell, Ontario followed by the California-based magazine ‘Victory Lane’. From there, other publications published interviews John was doing at vintage events and things took off from there. John goes to vintage events around the country, including Mosport, Road America, Watkins Glen and the Laguna Seca tracks. He and his racing friends meet and talk about how fast we were… or not. Today he is here to share his newest book titled Fast Faster Fastest: The Bill Sadler Story from Dalton Watson Fine Books.
