Since most of you guys have motorsports books...
I'm looking for info on a book on Indycars that may have come out in about
1991. There may be a picture of Willy T. Ribbs at the Detroit Grand Prix.
He's shaking hands with a Detroit police officer. Did that book really get
published? If so, what's the title?

Also, I've seen a commercial for Classic Motorbooks that has a picture of what
looks like a modern F1 car(Marlboro?) getting airborne. Not in a crash
situation, but seemingly just catching air over a hill. What's up with THAT?
I didn't think it was possible anymore...

Eldred,
The "Marlboro" F1 car that you have seen airborne is probably that of Mika
Hakkinen in Adelaide when he nearly lost his life (1996?).

I would imagine that it's actually Adelaide 1993. Hakkinen clipped the
kerb, got totally airborne, and carried on at the same corner where he
crashed two years later.

The picture got in the "Best F1 photos ever" feature that F1 Racing
magazine ran a couple of years ago.

There might be a copy of it at http://www.sutton-images.com if that URL
works...?
