Raoul ‘Sonny’ Balcaen grew up in Los Angeles at a time when it became the epicenter of American motor racing, nurturing a vast talent pool of people whose influence has echoed through to today. Sonny’s life is outlined in his autobiography, published by Evro, and includes co-authors Jill Amadio and past Cars Yeah guest Pete Lyons. This engaging memoir from one of American racing’s unsung heroes is the very personal history of a momentous time and place in which we meet a who’s who of West Coast road-racing heroes.
