Ghost Tracks”, Hylton's first book on sports car racing history was a “then and now” look at more than 70 of the sports greatest, long-gone tracks. Ghost Tracks is illustrated with hundreds of photos and track maps. First released in 2007, “Ghost Tracks” was popular among racing enthusiasts who described it as “stunning”, “a great find”, and “charming”.
One reader summed it up in these words: “You can be engrossed in a particular subject and when done with that one you can put the book down only to start over with a new one the next night. The pictures alone are worth the price of admission and the bits of history are icing on the cake.”
In “The Gentlemen’s Club”, Pete Hylton traces the evolution
of sports car racing from an its beginnings as an exclusive “club” of
well-heeled “gentlemen”, to the popular sport of today. The author includes detailed accounts and vintage photos
of events, venues and drivers from the 1940’s through the 1980’s and traces the
sometimes friendly, sometimes adversarial relationships between the different
sanctioning bodies.
