| The Stainless Steel Carrot Returns to Print An updated Auto Racing Odyssey…To Benefit Animals July 31, 2012 (CARPINTERIA, Calif.) "Brown Fox Books, is pleased to announce they are accepting pre-orders for Sylvia Wilkinson's classic tale of racing, The Stainless Steel Carrot. The updated and expanded version of the book is being completed with royalties benefiting animal welfare organizations. Pre-orders can be placed at www.brownfoxbooks.com The book will begin distribution August 2012. The book will be priced at $46.00 to coincide with John Morton's racing number for much of his career. In 1970, Sylvia Wilkinson was a writer in the category known as "young Southern Woman Novelist". While her novels and teaching paid the bills, she had a passion for motorsports that led her to write The Stainless Steel Carrot - An Auto Racing Odyssey. The book profiled young up-and-coming road racer John Morton as he raced the BRE Datsun 510 in the 1971 and 1972 SCCA Trans-Am 2.5 Challenge. John won the championships and continued on a road-racing career that saw dozens of championship level victories around the country and abroad. The book, well regarded among both racers and general audience readers, has been out of print since 1975. Original copies often sell for over $100 online and at collectors's events. Now, thanks to years of requests from fans, and Sylvia’s interest in animals, the book will be republished with additional material...." --------------------------------- "The 2012 Brown Fox edition will include additional photography from both the 1971-72 timeframe as well as throughout John’s career. Forewords from both Dan Gurney and Parnelli Jones will introduce the new book." |
