Stuffed with never-before-seen photography, stories, and race results,
Bronco Racing: Ford's Legendary 4x4 in Off-Road Competition is the
most definitive publication ever on this marque's racing success!
In 1965, legendary builder and off-road aficionado Bill Stroppe was one
of the first to test the new Bronco in off-road conditions. In March
1966, Stroppe introduced his racing Bronco to the press at the Bronco
Roundup, where racing ace Ray Harvick pounded the Santa Ana river bottom
with his tuned machine to win Top Eliminator at the Four-Wheel-Drive
Grand Prix at Riverside, and the rest is history.
Ford's Bronco dominated the off-road racing scene and captured coveted
titles in the Mint 400, Baja 500 and dirt racing's crowning achievement:
the Mexican 1000/Baja 1000. As the first-generation Bronco gave way to
the second-generation machine (1978), racing Broncos continued to devour
the competition until Ford pulled the plug on the rig in 1996.
Complementing the legendary Broncos featured here, you will also hear
the tales of their wranglers, including Parnelli Jones, Rod Hall, Larry
Minor, Shelby Hall, James Garner, Don Barlow, James Duff, Bill Rush, and
the aforementioned Ray Harvick and Bill Stroppe. The infamous mounts
covered include Big Oly/Crazy Colt, Pony, Big Hoss, Crazy Horse, Stove,
and Colt.
Diligently penned by Bronco racing historian John Elkin, this book is
the most comprehensive collection of historical accuracy ever authored
on this subject. Pull your belts tight and wipe your goggles clean one
last time with Bronco Racing: Ford's Legendary 4x4 in Off-Road
Competition!
