That record held for more than a decade, until the car culture swept the U.S. Hot-rodders and drag racers built and souped up racers using car engines, piston aircraft engines and, eventually, jet engines. For this determined and dedicated group, the LSR was no longer an honor to be held by rich aristocrats with industrial backing -- it was brought stateside. In the summer of 1960, the contest moved into overdrive, with eight men contending for the record on Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats.

The first full-scale biography of a legendary and award-winning NHL goalie who transformed the game. On and off the ice Jacques Plante was a true original; he was extremely talented, boastful, defiant, mysterious, and complex.

Fred Barnes (The McLaughlin Group) The American Spectator A riveting account... what you want in a sports book: the behind-the-scenes stuff, a peek at the private side of the players, their hobbies and politics and religion, the way they get along or don't... It's fair to compare The Jordan Rules with the campaign books that appear after every presidential race... The difference is not only that The Jordan Rules explains more persuasively than most of the campaign chronicles how the winner was decided - it's that it does so more interestingly and with more understanding of the human heart.
