Scott Dixon : Indy to Indy / Sandy Myhre. - Auckland, N.Z. : Hodder Moa, 2006. - 191 p., [24] p. of plates : col. ill. ; 24 cm.

Scott Dixon, New Zealand's top racing driver, inhabits the extremely competitive, high-risk, high-stakes world of Indy car racing. In a revealing look at this world, Sandy Mayhre examines what it takes to succeed at the top level, as well as the thrills and the inevitable spills of driving at breakneck speeds on unforgiving, narrow, oval tracks. Scott Dixon: Indy to Indy looks at why Scott Dixon races primarily on these rather than on circuits or streets and explores the intriguing circumstances that brought this about and which lead to his winning the IndyCar series in 2003. Along the way the book traces the evolution and significance of America's iconic sport event, the Indianapolis 500, and the devastating split between the Indy Racing League and Champcar.
