Description:

Racing, rallying, writing, observing, photographing, Denise McCluggage has spent nearly four decades with cars and the people who drive them. She began writing about them as a sports reporter for the New York Herald Tribune. She has also written for Road & Track, Car and Driver, Motor Trend and her own publication, Competition Press (which down the road evolved into AutoWeek.

Widely recognized as one of the world's best women drivers, she is also the only woman to have ever won the prestigious Ken Purdy Award for Excellence in Automobile Journalism. As Senior Contributing Editor for AutoWeek she writes a regular column, "Now and Then", from which this collection is largely gleaned. Her syndicated column, "Drive, She said", appears in some forty newspapers across the U.S. and Canada.

The pieces here reflect her fortutious vantage point and her uncommon memories of those who sped quickly under the checkered flag and are now beyond the horizon. Among them: Masten Gregory, Jean Behra, Wolfgand von Trips, Peter Collins, Henry Schell, Joe Weatherly, Fireball Roberts, Steve McQueen, Richie Ginther, and Don Yenko.

"Whether you are a racing fan, a lover of old cars, or just splendid writing, By Brooks Too Broad for Leaping is a delightful trip down memory lane." -- Lisa Barrow, MotorWeek.
