Synopsis

 

Six Years at Speed is the autobiography of a race car driver. As a former Formula Ford champion and Formula Atlantic competitor in the early eighties, Andy Mahood battled accomplished drivers, financial downturns, and even basic laws of physics as he pushed his cars and his career as far and as fast as he could. It’s a story of family and friendship set against a backdrop of speed and struggle on classic racing circuits like Westwood, Montreal, SIR, Mosport, and Trois Rivieres. There are no World Championships or Indy 500 victories here. What there is is a lot of racing. Grass roots racing for the most part. Races that few people will have seen or have cause to remember, but races that take on an importance all their own when you take yourself back to when they happened. Written by former PC Gamer columnist Andy Mahood—author of the critically acclaimed espionage thriller The Uno Affair—Six Years at Speed is laced with humour, emotion, and non-stop racing action.
Strap in and enjoy this compelling personal memoir of one of Canada's most promising racing talents. It goes by fast.
