Lapping America is a unique, thoroughly engaging, and intelligent piece of writing that strikes deeply into American archetypal ground. It should rank on the same shelf as some of America’s finest inland travel literature and fit nicely next to John Steinbeck’s Travels With Charley.
— Robert Hedin, poet, editor, and Director,
The Anderson Center for Interdisciplinary Studies

“A favorite. What an engaging piece, full of rich images, splendid voice and tone. I was lost in that Corvette, a passenger, riding shot-gun.”
— Daniel Blasi, editor, Full Circle

Lapping America “is literate, timely, and humorous.”
— Mark Hatala, Hatala Publishing

Lapping America is for the dreamers and drivers among us who always want to get behind the wheel and drive cross-country, but never do. But if you are secretly planning such an adventure, first read Claude Smith's primer, then gas up and go.
— Jim Sielicki, The (Toledo) Blade

I’ve never been a fan of the Interstates, but it turns out I just didn’t know the best way to travel them. C.C. Smith is a writer of rare versatility and perception, and with Smith at the wheel Lapping America is a pleasure all the way.
— Mike Lackey, The Lima (Ohio) News

Smith’s wide-eyed, round-robin tour of Ike’s fabulous ribbon of cement and the people passing by, gave me an acute case of wanderlust. The red Corvette of everyone’s dreams sees it all: fog and floods, mountains and molehills; with a stop at Ti-Jean’s grave. And who knew that you can wash the love bugs down with a Coke?”

2006 marks the 50th anniversary of the Federal Interstate Highway System, proposed by President Eisenhower as a security measure in case the United States needed to move large quantities of military supplies through the country. The result has been the Interstates, which most motorists take for granted to get us many miles at high speeds.

Lapping America is Smith’s tale of celebrating the Interstate system by driving the perimeter of the United States: from Ohio to Maine, down to Florida, across to California, north to Washington, then back eastward to his Ohio home—all in a fire-red ‘96 Corvette. Along the way he meets a cross-section of the American people and talks with them about the Interstates and what makes the system so much a part of the American fabric. This is a funny, perceptive, beautifully crafted account of a journey many of us may dream of making, but never do. Bud Smith is there to take us along for the ride.

Synopsis

A Drive on the Wild Side takes you on an exciting journey along some of the world's most fascinating roads. Discover what it's like to drive a Ferrari across the wilds of western China, take a Smart car to the Arctic, and dodge bullets on the mean streets of Soweto. This is a book that will appeal to anyone with a thirst for the open road. Written by the multi-award-winning journalist and television presenter, Alistair Weaver, A Drive on the Wild Side is a compendium of stories from a life spent behind the wheel. Thoroughly researched and beautifully written, they are illustrated by some of the world's leading automotive and travel photographers. Each chapter takes us on an intriguing journey into the unknown. Hop aboard a Range Rover Sport and explore the depths of the Laos Jungle before turning south to Thailand and the lurid charms of Bangkok. Open a scissor-door to the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and catch up with Sir Stirling Moss on the route of the famous Mille Miglia. Explore the Faroe Islands in a Lamborghini Gallardo, then slide into a Mini and hurtle past Moscow's Red Square in a semi-legal street race. Tales of daring-do in some of the world's greatest cars are mixed with moments of thought-provoking sensitivity. In a drug-ridden Brazilian Favela, we meet Maria Jose Clemente, who runs an orphanage supported by the Ayrton Senna Foundation. In Tanzania, we lunch with a Masai tribe, and north of the Arctic Circle, we discover the ancient Sami people. Combining a passion for all things automotive with a keen interest in the human condition and a determination to 'go the extra mile', these journeys paint a fascinating picture of life beyond the reach of the guide book. This book tells the fascinating, hair raising and moving stories experienced during a career-spanning automotive adventure in style, with 400 stunning photos. They will delight both the casual tourist and the seasoned globetrotter. 
 
Alistair Weaver is a multi-award winning journalist and television presenter who contributes to a wide range of global publications. Having worked as a roadtester for Autocar and What Car? magazines in the late �90s, Alistair turned freelance in 2000 and has since developed a reputation for delivering unusual and challenging features. He has a taste for the extreme and is a former holder of the world speed record for blindfold driving.

                    [sinopsis_editor] => NASCAR held its first Strictly Stock race in Charlotte on June 19, 1949, and, in the following decades, dozens of large and small tracks throughout the Carolinas were home to a major NASCAR event. Called Grand National from 1950-1970, NASCAR's top circuit became the Winston Cup in 1971, and most of the dirt and small tracks were subsequently gutted from the schedule. Although a handful of those speedways tenuously held on through exploding popularity, and an influx of big corporate dollars, the transition to metropolitan markets and super speedways was inevitable. Some of the original tracks, like the North Wilkesboro Motor Speedway, still stand testament to the sport's not-too-distant past. Others, like the Charlotte Speedway, are long gone, leaving only memories and photographs. This is the story of every racetrack in North and South Carolina that held at least one big time race through 1971, but is no longer used for auto racing. Seven are one-race wonders, while others are as much racing legends as the sport's past champions. Chapters cover each track's big time history, from early background through its racing years to its current status. Included are the thrilling tales of the personalities and machines that shaped NASCAR's early days. Statistics chart every track's past winners, records, and wins by make. The 151 photographs give the reader a virtual tour of speedways that are often inaccessible or nonexistent.
