Sintesi dell'editore
Edelstein's gripping biography thrillingly recreates the life of this American legend, from his days as a teenage moonshine runner in Virginia, through millions earned (and just as quickly spent) in fearless finance deals, to his incredible comeback after four years of being banned from the NASCAR circuit.
"A well-researched, thoroughly enjoyable account of the life of this NASCAR pioneer and iconoclast." (Booklist)
"[The author] draws on concrete sourcing based on Turner's personal files to give the book depth and perspective." (Publishers Weekly)
"[Edelstein's] impeccable biography of Turner, Full Throttle, kicks up dirt on NASCAR's juiced-up early days." (New York Times)

Great Story & Great Narration
If you are a NASCAR fan or if you just like a great story than this is worth the download. Narration could not be any better for the tone of the book.

Great Story
Curtis Turner was outrageous! He lived his life to the fullest with no fear, and drove the way he lived. From the early days of running from the law, to the dirt tracks, to the super speedways, Curtis was the ultimate competitor. It is a must read for anyone with interest in the history of NASCAR, but would appeal to a much wider audience. The reader's voice is perfect for the book.

Excellent book. Surprisingly good.
I don’t write reviews but this book really moved and captivated me.
It captured a long-gone era and of a man that might have been the best “Just go for it, no fear, enjoy life” person in NASCAR & American history.
It is read well, but I needed to get used to the narration because at first I thought it was too slow. But shortly after starting this book I truly enjoyed his accent, which added to the southern landscape this book is mostly set in.
Written in short, easy to listen to bursts of factual, researched, and entertaining material, bringing in all aspects of Curtis’ life.

Excellent story of a man before my time
I was 3 years old when Curtis Turner died and I only became a “motor head” in the last five years. I wish I would have been around in the early days of stock car racing. It sounds far more fascinating than what I no longer can watch in NASCAR. His story is absolutely exhilarating and he squeezed every ounce of life he could out of his 46 years. Definitely worth the read and the narrator is perfect!

Great book, excellent narrator
I'm 35 and I followed NASCAR my whole life but I had no idea what all was going on behind the scenes in those days. It is so great to get the information together and hear all the stories of the old days. I loved it and I'm glad I now know who Curtis Turner was. It reminds me of stories my dad would tell about his youth.
