[Shotimes] Re: Smokey's "auto" bio

>>> Smokey wrote a huge three volume set of books before he died, others had 
to edit it so it could be readable, but it is GREAT reading.  One book is 
about his WWII life and flying
another is about Indy The final and really "smoking" book is about NASCAR.

Per his website they've just released a single volume edition for $25 (list, 
Amazon probably less) that has all the stories in smaller print, and fewer 
photos.  Sounds like something that could wind up on a few Christmas lists.

>>> The book I enjoyed the most though is the one about his WWII flying 
career.  It explains a lot about why so many of that generation never talked about 
their war experience, it was a terrifying time, but there was money to be made 
too, even in the service.

Kiddies, can you say "Milo Minderbinder"?  ;-)
