One of the greatest drivers of his generation, Jim Hall is even
better known as an innovator. From his tiny shop in Midland,
Texas, emerged a series of Chaparrals that changed the face
of racing. His high-winged Chaparral 2E Can-Am car and 2F
World Sportscar Championship contender may be the most
influential race vehicles of the 20th century. Today, every
Formula 1 car uses net downforce, driver-adjustable wings,
composite chassis, side-mounted radiators, semi-automatic
gearboxes and advanced telemetry to optimize vehicle
performance &#8212all things Hall pioneered in the mid-
1960s. First-ever book in which Hall tells his own story.The
massive influence of his introduction of net downforce to
racing, which is now incorporated into the design of every
major type of four-wheel competition vehicle.How Hall shocked
the world with innovative designs that won in every series in
which they competed, including Can-Am, Trans-Am, the World
Sportscar Championship, Formula 5000, United States Road
Racing Championship, Canadian Sports Car Championship
and the Indianapolis 500.How Jim and John Barnard created
the Chaparral 2K &#8220Yelow Submarine&#8221that won
the Indianapolis 500 and USAC national championship, setting
the template for the modern Indy car.The massive resistance
Jim faced from teams and sanctioning bodies intent on
outlawing his legal but game-changing innovations.The
connection to Chevrolet and the crucial role Chaparral Cars
played in the defense of GM during the Corvair trials of the
mid-1960s.How Hall became a national celebrity, with
