November 22, 2013 Press
Release - Dayton, Ohio - Kings Road West Publications, LTD would like to
announce the publication of The Salt Walther Story “For the Race of Your Life”
just in time to honor Salt's 66th birthday today. This e-Book chronicles the life
and times of Dayton, Ohio born racer David “Salt” Walther through stories told in
Salt’s own words, remembrances from one of Salt’s long time friends and racing
archives. Salt had been working on this book before his untimely death in
December of 2012. And it is our pleasure to have completed his journey.
Born on November 22, 1947 to Dayton corporate magnate George
Walther who took the reins from his father to become CEO and Chairman of the Dayton
Walther Corporation. George was also a race car owner who began taking cars to the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1955 and continued until 1990 when he and Salt put a car into the Indianapolis 500 only to be bumped by the last man on the track that Sunday.
The book is not just a racing story, but
will tell Salt’s story of drug dependency following his near fatal racing
accident during the start of the Indianapolis 500 race in 1973. You’ll come to
understand why a kid from Centerville High School who was a gifted athlete,
stayed in top physical shape and never took drugs, relied on drugs to remove
the pain both physically and mentally after the accident.
The book will bring Salt’s racing career into better
understanding from his “little rich kid” who daddy bought him a race
car to an accomplished racer with 64 career champ car races and Unlimited
Hydroplane Calvert Cup Trophy Winner. Salt is the only driver to have raced IndyCars,
NASCAR and Unlimited Hydroplanes.
The e-book can ONLY be purchased on-line at www.etsy.com/shop/indybooknook starting Monday November 25, 2013.
