Indycar Racer Salt Walther Book Update Chapter 1 Sample

We have been moving towards the finish line with Salt's book and its targeted release in November just in time for Salt's birthday. Here is a sample of chapter 1 from "For the Race of Your Life".





May 29th 1973 Indianapolis, Indiana  -- It was a typical warm and humid summer day as A.J. Foyt’s private Lear jet departs the runway of the Indianapolis International Airport. It was on course to Ann Arbor Michigan and the University of  Michigan Burn Center. On board the now the modified jet, as seats were removed to accommodate a single hospital gurney was a dying race driver David “Salt” Walther.



May 28th The Start of the Indianapolis 500 -- With the start of a race everything starts to get real tense. The thing this year was Mother Nature was not cooperating “Rain” it won’t stop. So now we have delays’ and out go the track dryers. I haven’t eaten for two days and today the green flag was finally gon’a drop.
