By: Ed Watson, Dennis Newlyn .
Ed Watson shares the inside story of an American Legend who captured the hearts of auto racing fans not only in his own country, but became a national hero in Australia and New Zealand.
Called a man from out of the past by the racers who competed against him, Bob Tattersall could out drive, out drink and out party the best. Cheating death twenty-nine times in violent wrecks, Tat beat cancer for four years before it returned and claimed his life.
As the Chief Scorer and main correspondent for the USAC Midget Division during Bob Tattersall's greatest years, Ed Watson goes beyond race reports to reveal the complex character that was Bob Tattersall.
Dennis Newlyn witnessed every Australian tour Bob Tattersall competed in. The publisher of National Speedway Illustrated takes us back to the glory days of the 1960s and brings to life the legend of "Two Gun Tattersall".
