Additional Praise
"...In writing Heroes of the Forest, Mark Brinker has created THE definitive history on these significant races. To be honest, I found each volume to be mind boggling. If there is any author thinking of writing a book about the Pebble Beach races, forget it. There is nothing more to write or illustrate. It is all in Heroes of the Forest."
Bill Warner
"The early postwar races were my father’s classroom, and he used what he learned at Pebble Beach to realize his dream of becoming a Formula One world champion...There is absolutely no doubt that my father would have loved this book. Hopefully, the library in heaven has a copy."
Derek Hill
"...Heroes of the Forest represents an incredibly comprehensive account that has never been assembled in such detail. The photographs, tables, and text cover a vast amount of information that is impeccably presented. This book will serve as the gold standard recount of this fascinating period of road racing..."
Jim Fasnacht
"...In Heroes of the Forest, Mark Brinker resurrects the legend and the passion of these races in vast detail. Through reading this encyclopedic tome, I felt like I personally got to meet the racers, builders, team owners, and general characters who had the great foresight and fortune to create and experience these momentous events...The amazing treasury of historic images and Mark’s infectious writing will hook you too."
