He's sitting next to my buddy in Austin so I've asked him to get an answer this weekend. I cannot find anything about this book anywhere other than one ad I saw in a mag, that I don't have with me and one tweet about the launch in Sept. I've googled it before with no results. Any info ?

It's called Emmo: A Racer's Soul. Review by TNFer Colbul1:

The Amazon UK link in that post seems to be the only place you can buy it from.
It's listed on Amazon US, but they're showing it as out of print!

I think it's a limited print run, something like 2,000. So get yer skates on.

Thanks very much. Darn only 144 pages for a multi decade book. Sounds kind of disappointing. Reading Revson's book again, that's more like it, the ones on Mears and Andretti also set the standard, was hoping for something like them. Gurney is supposedly working on one, hoping it also is good.

There's the Elizabeth Hayward one that's more in those veins. But of course only takes the story up to about 1973. This one is more a reflective piece than a blow-by-blow account.

This reviewer voiced a similar criticism - It does not sound like an in-depth autobiography:
