Larry
Ormsby releases limited edition
book
" The Larry Ormsby Scrapbook"
- The Ford Years - |
|
| |
|
|
In a must-have for all Drag Racing and
Muscle Car fans, legendary Australian
drag racer, the Big O, Larry Ormsby has
just released a stunning, limited
edition book detailing the early years
of his incredible career.
Titled “The Larry Ormsby Scrapbook – The
Ford Years,” this new book documents an
exciting, bygone era in racing when the
‘Win on Sunday. Sell on Monday’ mantra
ruled the sales strategies of major car
companies.
The 287-page quality publication details
Ormsby’s introduction to drag racing,
and how his class-winning performances
could not have been better timed as he
captured the attention of legendary Ford
Racing boss Al Turner to earn Blue Oval
factory support.
All three of Ormsby’s famous GT Falcons
are covered – his original XR GT, his
Nationals-winning XW GTHO, and the full
factory-supported XY GTHO “Braker III”
with which Ormsby claimed the first ever
Nationals Pro Stock title.
The book includes in-depth insight into
each of these legendary cars and their
modifications – both successes and
failures – and performances, as recalled
by Ormsby, Turner, and iconic Ford
Racing mechanic, Colin Russell, also
known as “Russell the Rascal.”
It also features racing results of the
day, extracts of race reports from
RODsports magazine, scores of rare
photos,
Ormsby not only recalls his early
career, but pays tribute to his fellow
drag racing stars of the era, such as
“Dyno Dave” Bennett, Ron Harrop, Don
Figgins, Graham Withers, Ian Splatt,
Pommie Peter Allen, Geoff Ryde, Morrie
Allen, and Jim Fife – providing readers
with an incredible look back at the
formative years of Australian drag
racing.
The Larry Ormsby Scrapbook – The Ford
Years has initially been released as a
strictly limited edition and is a
must-have for all Drag Racing and Muscle
Car enthusiasts.

Edition issue are available, presented

the box and book cover featuring
distinctive silver foil embossing. Each

certificate of authenticity to match the

The Ford Years 351 Limited Edition is
