• Ever wonder why so many cars at the vintage races (and Ric's MG) have those "The Last Open Road" decals on the trunk? Then you haven't read the books... B.S.(Burt) Levy is a racer, frequent magazine columnist, and self proclaimed "notorious ride mooch", as well as a fellow member of Age & Treachery Racing. He's also written some of the best fictional works about the early days of sports car racing in the western hemisphere; "The Last Open Road", "Montezuma's Ferrari", and "The Fabulous Trashwagon". While fictional, those who were there testify to how accurately Burt has captured the feeling surrounding the early days of real road racing at Watkins Glen, Elkhart Lake, and the Carrera PanAmericana, and the beginning of the SCCA. Burt's fourth book, "Toly's Ghost", brings this saga and characters forward to the early 60's and Phil Hill's championship year in F1. This site is the home of Burt's publishing company Think Fast Ink and has info on the books, Last Open Road merchandise, and even a story or two. Your friendly webmaster highly recommends these books and the web site.
