Nebraska Dirt By Robert "Bob" Mays Signed 1st Edition 1st Printing January 2020

Bob Mays was inducted into the Nebraska Auto Racing Hall of Fame with the Class of 2019.


Bob Mays’ interest in auto racing began at the age of three, when his father took him to his first car race at Capitol Beach Speedway in Lincoln, Nebraska.


In 1974, Mays was asked to join the pit crew of Dick Maul, a Micro-Midget racer, and at the end of the 1974 season, Mays and Jim Adams purchased the race car. The pair raced the car through the 1975 season, when Mays bought out Adams and became the sole owner of the car.


Mays started collecting racing photos in the mid 1970s, but as good shots seemed few and far between, he sold his race car, purchased a camera and began traveling around the Sprint Car circuit, taking his own photographs of his racing heroes. In 1980, he was named track photographer at Midwest Speedway in Lincoln, and a short time later, joined with Jim Jones to form Fastrack Enterprises. Their first publication, “Fastrack Pictorial”, was published in 1982.
