He's also written three of the best fictional works about the early days of sports car racing in the western hemisphere; "The Last Open Road", "Montezuma's Ferrari", and "The Fabulous Trashwagon", and with the fourth book in the series, "Toly's Ghost", he brings the story forward to the international scene in Phil Hill's championship season of 1961. While fictional, those who were there testify to how accurately Burt has captured the feeling surrounding the early days of real road racing at Watkins Glen, Elkhart Lake, and the Carrera PanAmericana, and the beginning of the SCCA. This site is the home of Burt's publishing company Think Fast Ink and has info on the books, Last Open Road merchandise, and even a story or two.
