'I’ve enjoyed reading a lot of racing and motorsports books over the yearsMartin Roach’s History of Speed was a special treat considering its broad range of racing heroes that covered the gamut from dragsters to streamliners, from Formula 1 to land speed racing. The pictures and stories combine to provide a rich texture to telling the difficult story of why we chase speed like an addiction. This is my favourite holiday gift for racing brethren and friends who appreciate the passion of going faster than anyone else. Kudos to Martin for presenting our story so well.' -- Valerie Thompson, world's fastest female motorcycle racer
