Each book will capture and detail all aspects of designing, building and constructing new race circuits that DDD is involved with. The books will be available only on a limited basis.

“The hidden aspects of new projects are fascinating and Dirt to Purpose will portray the sights and descriptions that few ever see,” said DDD founder Derek Daly. “Creating and constructing a new race track and all that goes with it is really an exciting experience to behold. Now, we’ll be able to highlight everything in a series of beautiful books offered to a select few” said Paxton Waters, partner.

Evanow has been involved in the automotive industry for more than 24 years, handling marketing, sales and public relations assignments for such diverse employers and clients as SCCA, Steve Saleen, Bob Bondurant, Steve Millen and Nissan North America.
