A timeless classic known to fans of motorsport around the world, The Stainless Steel Carrot follows the early efforts of racecar driver John Morton as the baby-faced competitor fought and scratched to build a championship-winning career throughout the 1970s and '80s. With a combination of dogged journalistic chops and creative wit and color unparalleled in automotive journalism, author Sylvia Wilkinson paints a complete human portrait of the man that came to embody determination as he piloted iconic Datsun 510 and 240Z racecars to victory for the red, white and blue of Brock Racing Enterprises. From his early days sweeping the floors for Carroll Shelby and racing alongside Ken Miles, to his SCCA titles and adventures in the Baja 1000, Morton shares insight and advice that will resonate with any enthusiast.
