Novi The Legendary Indianapolis Race Car-Vol. Two The Granatelli Era

Product description

The continuing saga of the world-famous Novi race cars from their sale to the Granatelli brothers in 1961 through temporary retirement after the failure to qualify for the 1966 race and their definitive retirement in 1968. By 1968, the fabled front engine cars were no longer considered competitive due to the evolutionary changes in Indy car construction. The Granatellis countered with 4WD to tame the powerful, supercharged Novi V-8 engine. Yet it was not enough to withstand the rear engine revolution. Follow along as Peters and Greuter take you through the rich racing history of this famed Indy competitor.
