By: Kevin Bartlett, Jim Shepherd . -Second-Hand book in unused condition_
KEVIN BARTLETT — 'Big Rev Kev' to his legion of fans — has been an integral part of Australian motor racing for a quarter of a century. Twice national champion, his career record includes wins in the Macau Grand Prix, the James Hardie 1000, Tasman Championship races and many national touring car championship rounds.
In a fascinating career which started in an MG sports car and a Morris Minor and took him to Indianapolis, and the glamour tracks and races of the United States, Australia, New Zealand and South-East Asia, Kevin has seen and done it all.
In open wheelers, he's raced against the true greats ... from Jim Clark to Jack Brabham, Graham Hill, Jochen Rindt and Alan Jones. In touring cars, he's battled with everyone from Harry Firth and Bob Jane to Allan Moffat and Peter Brock. Few Australian racing drivers are as qualified as Kevin to comment both on what it used to be like and the current scene. In this book, he writes of the charisma of the James Hardie 1000, on Australia's top drivers, the best and worst circuits, CAMS, Alan Jones' disastrous Australian campaign, the media, sponsorship, the promoters and many more subjects which will enthrall and delight racing fans.
Profusely illustrated with many previously unpublished photographs, Big Rev Kev is the first inside driver report in the history of Australian motor racing.
