By examining Savannah's earlier fame in national bicycle racing competitions and its ties to the powerful dynasties who controlled the racing world, the book explains how and why Savannah was chosen. It details the construction of the course, reveals why the races and course were considered \"America's greatest\" by international racing experts of the period and includes many biographies of the drivers who came to Savannah.
