Joel Wakely has worked with and been around cars almost his entire life, owning several significant and very rare models. These include the ‘Boomerang’ 48-215 that his team (Spencer Martin, Barry Seton, Bob Gray and himself) raced with dominating success during the 1962-64 Appendix J touring car seasons, and is a major focus of this book. Joel has previously written four popular books for Woodslane Press, including The Passion for Holden.
