New Book on Mickey Thompson

Worked with Mickey's son Danny, his daughter, Lyndy, his first wife, Judy, and sister, Collene on this project for more than a year ... here are the "back cover" comments:

“Mickey Thompson was a charismatic American go-getter, an optimistic leader, a visionary with the ability to make good things happen, a trailblazer with an infectious and stimulating love for the automobile. He and his wife Trudy are missed to this day, and it is nice to see a book published recording for history the many contributions he made to the sport of motor racing.”

— Dan Gurney, first driver to win races in Formula One, NASCAR, and Indy Car

“We all knew Mickey Thompson was great, but I didn’t realize how amazing and revolutionary he was to the world of racing. I was stuck to this book. I couldn’t wait until the next chapter to learn more about this remarkable man.”

— Don “The Snake” Prudhomme, four-time NHRA Funny Car champion

“This compelling biography of Mickey Thompson begins and ends with Thompson’s death, but it is the story of his life that makes for a great read.  Here, author Erik Arneson gets it right, focusing his considerable reportorial skills on Thompson’s lifetime of achievement and the powerful personality that made it all possible.”

— Dave Despain, host of SpeedTV’s Wind Tunnel
