    "Hot Rod" by Henry Gregor Felsen, Bantam Books, 1951

    This is the "original" Hot Rod paperback novel, published in 1951. The cover art was wonderful![IMG][/IMG]

    Heres a couple of my early attempts of motor racing photography, with a very basic Anson camera as I remember. These were taken in the pits at Pukekohe on the many long expeditions my brother and I made catching up to six buses to get there from Mairangi Bay on Aucklands North Shore in the early 1970s...

    Excellent work Gerard, to think back some 43 years about the trials and tribulations you went through to not only take these photos, but also to keep them, is the reason many of us enjoy this website so much.

    On another Forum I asked about Frank O'Hara and received this reply from the late Barry Lake.

    On the subject of Frank O'Hara, sorry, I don't know who he is. I don't know how someone can (presumably) research motor Australian racing for a novel and not be known to people within the sport.

    It could, of course, be someone we know, writing under a nom de plume. Wasn't Bruce Carter a well known motoring writer's pen name when he wrote fiction?

    There once was a book based on racing at Bathurst, around the same era as these Frank O'Hara books and I am inclined to think also by him, called Hell Corner.
    I read a bit of it at the time, thought it was a bit over the top and did not buy it.
