Having discovered Douglas Rutherford not long after I seriously got into reading, and all things related to cars I remember really enjoying his stories. Great yarns as I recall.

Michael I have finished Toly's Ghost, as well as all the other Burt Levy 'Buddy Palumbo' Books. Must say that the first two were the best mix of history and plot. The fabulous Trashwagon didn't quite hit the mark with me while Toly was just a long recitation of major racing events of the period with so believable plot to link them together.

Bob Judd wrote several racing related books beside Monza though I found most of them to be rather shallow as both stories and on the technical side.

Cheers
