Damn Few Died In Bed: My Life In Auto Racing by Andrew G. Dunlop as told to Thomas F. Saal

Damned Few Died In Bed is the late Andy Dunlop’s personal account of his life in auto racing which began in 1928 when he moved to Cleveland Ohio from Detroit with his parents and his sisters at age 17 and ended in 1995 when he retired at age 84, still living in Cleveland.
