The Golden Age of Wisconsin: Auto Racing

by Dale Grubba

On This Page

Description

Roho the Rooster's only complaint about his racing days with Lyle Nabbefeldt was that the pay was chicken feed. During the golden age of Wisconsin auto racing, Nabbefeldt would race with Roho -- a real rooster -- as his copilot. That's one of the engaging tales in Father Dale Grubba's The Golden Age of Wisconsin Auto Racing, which captures all the grease, the smell of gasoline and the roar of the engines that characterized the exciting early years of Wisconsin racing.
