Where the Writer Meets the Road
By Sam Posey
Sam Posey created a unique career for himself in motorsports, beginning as a young driver set to make his mark, then later moving into television commentary, forming a memorable booth crew with Bobby Unser and Paul Page, all while carrying on in private as both a writer and an artist.
This book, subtitled “a collection of articles, broadcast intros and profiles,” looks at Sam’s career from his own, admittedly personal viewpoint, but nevertheless tells a compelling tale. Included are a number of articles on a variety of topics that he wrote, primarily for Road & Track, but also Sports Illustrated and others, as well as introductory briefs he penned to open F1 broadcasts and salute the honorees at the Road Racing Drivers Club’s annual Long Beach banquets.
An excellent Foreword by long-time “adversary” David Hobbs opens the book on a revelatory note, and the following text readily displays Sam’s talents out of the cockpit. The book is laced with relevant photography at appropriate points as well as a central four-color signature of snaps from Sam’s life.
It’s available for US$29.95 / £19.99 from enthusiast bookstores, or direct from publisher David Bull Publishing at www.bullpublishing.com
