Review by Pete Vack
It’s tough to begin a book review with an obit, but we were saddened to hear the loss of Dave Cross, shortly before his most recent book, “Around the Circuit” was published. Cross was born in the U.K. in 1938 and for many years a Director of Auto Suppliers Ltd. He retired in 2003 and following his interest in racing, wrote “Inside the Paddock” for publisher Dalton Watson, a book which was awarded the International Historic Motoring Award’s “Publication of the Year” in 2012. Cross had a chance to read the preliminary print of “Around the Circuit” when he passed away on 18 September 2013.
