This first extensive biography on Frank S. Lockhart (1903 – 1928) unravels fact from fiction in the career of one of American auto racing’s most enduring heroes. Frank was a legendary driver – winning his first Indianapolis 500 race in 1926 – and a mechanical genius – inventing the intercooler for the supercharged internal combustion engine! His amazing life was tragically cut short in Daytona on April 25, 1928, during an attempt to set the world land speed record.
