Finding the Groove features interviews with 27 leading drivers of the era: everyone from Richard Petty to Mario Andretti to Mark Donahue. Three were drag racers: Don Garlits, then the number one driver in the top fuel division; Don Prudhomme, who was equally dominant in funny cars; and Malcolm Garrett, a street racer from my hometown of Michigan City, Indiana. Malcolm never achieved the level of drag racing fame as Garlits or Prudhomme, but years later, Malcolm switched sports, serving as corner man for heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. In each chapter of Finding the Groove , I ask the driver: "How do you go fast around a racetrack?" This book features their answers. Some drivers understood their sport better than others, or at least had the ability to communicate their understanding better.
