Default Re: The Old Car Wars Novels/Stories - Any good?

Ib Melchior's short story "The Racer," published in the 1950s, is the basis of "Death Race 2000".

A hardcover book I found last year at a branch of Half Price Books, a chain of used bookstores in the U.S., includes "The Racer" in its collection of short stories.

This book, titled "Reel Future", is out of print but it can be found from multiple sellers on Amazon.com.
