By Denis Manning
Edited by John Stein
This book is amazing because Denis’s life, always seeking the Fastest Lane was and is incredible. For Bonneville enthusiasts, this book is a must read.
Not only does it tell the trying stories around precarious run attempts, but it points out every pitfall to success on the salt. Denis also goes into detail concerning mechanical, aerodynamic, component and team difficulties.

Of course, he discusses the funding issues and dealing with various types of Sponsors.
Inspired in 1960, Denis was racing soon after his marriage in 1968.
He worked with all the greats in the field, including Chris Carr, Rocky Robertson and Valerie Thompson.
It’s easy to read, while carefully laid-out in a large coffee-table format with numerous captivating photos and captions. But unlike many photo-essay books relying solely on images and artistic layout, this book carries a significant literary timeline. It captures every historic racing event from the beginnings of Manning’s motorcycle racing history through every attempt to capture and hang onto the coveted World’s Fastest Motorcycle Land Speed Record.
