Virtually from the moment of its launch in April 1964, the Ford Mustang
has been a favorite among road racers. From the Tour de France, to
production sports car racing, the SCCA Trans-Am series, regional and
national A/Sedan competitions, and international and domestic sedan
championships in Great Britain, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, the
Mustang has enjoyed a following like few other models.
Racing Mustangs is a photographic celebration of road racing Mustangs
throughout the world. It focuses on production-based cars, rather than
the heavily modified tube-frame silhouette machines that began appearing
in the late 1970s. Included are images of big-budget factory-supported
cars competing in the Trans-Am series, right through to low-buck
independents, and cars competing throughout the world.
Using only period images, including countless photos that have never
before been published, this is a true photographic history, depicting
the global popularity of the Ford Mustang as a road racing car.
