I first met Alexandra Lier at El Mirage a few years back. She’s a diehard gear head who has spent the last few years putting together this amazing book. I’m glad I had the opportunity to help her with some of the history and images. To view more go to www.speedseekers.de

From the web site:

Speedseekers is organized in five main chapters: History, Garage, Speed, Landspeed, and Style & Sound. Breathtaking archival photographs of legendary racers and race cars set the stage, a stunning suite of portraits of the protagonists in their private garages give the reader a rare glimpse behind the scenes. Contemporary images of today’s racers and current record-holders with their wheels and their fans lend the whole book a riveting and authentic air. But it doesn’t stop there. The whole world of the supporting cast is represented, customizers, painters and stripers, model builders, illustrators and tattoo artists, musicians and designers fill out this amazing collection of all things speedy. All of it told with the gear-banging prose of Kevin Thomson.
