Joie Ray
Although I’m not a Foul matter Track/Midget religious madman… There was a very engaging interview on Autosport Radio yesterday, as I’d never heard of racing pioneer Joie Ray, nor the volume’s author Pat Sullivan…
What made this so attractive to me was that it’s all about an African American who broke the colour obstruction in Motor Racing the same year as Jackie Robinson did in Baseball… Yet, that was NEVER Joie Ray’s bear upon; he just wanted to house cars!

How fitting it is the Pat would set about the task of putting the record of a true auto racing pioneer... Joie Ray in work form. "Brick by Brick", released April 13th (the first yearly of Joie's dying), is the story from his first days on World through his racing course and the influences that made him the man he was.
