A single photo can hit harder than a trophy list, and that’s the heart of our conversation with motorsports author George Levy. George joins us to talk about Motorsports Mavericks, a big, beautiful coffee table book built from the late Pete Biro’s astonishing body of work. Pete didn’t just shoot “cars on track.” He captured the humor, the danger, the exhaustion, and the moments you only get when you’re allowed far closer than today’s rules would ever permit.
We dig into what it takes to curate a lifetime archive, including the reality that Biro left behind more than 250,000 images spanning Formula One, IndyCar and the Indy 500, NASCAR, drag racing, endurance racing, off-road, and land speed record history. George shares how interviews and firsthand voices turn iconic images into real scenes, from hard-working crews to the stars who lived for racing. Yes, we talk about the era of celebrity racers too, including Paul Newman’s legit skill and Steve McQueen’s relentless competitiveness.
Then we pivot from the glory days to right now with a fast weekend update: car shows, cruises, and regional events, plus a quick race calendar so you can plan your next drive. If you love racing history, vintage motorsports photography, and the people behind the machines, you’ll want this one in your queue.
