I first met Ms. Unique Hiram at the Historic Columbia Speedway work day for the first Love Chevrolet Racers Reunion. I actually welcomed her as she walked up to the site with note pad in hand. In all honesty, I assumed she was a newspaper reporter and I was trying to get my name in the paper! I was right about her job, but I still didn't get my name in the papers. But, along with several other volunteers at the track, we got to know Ms. Hiram as she came back many times to help us with the work of getting the speedway ready. I remember standing in the old ticket office building with the gang during a rain storm one work day and listening to her story as to how she, a young lady from NEW YORK CITY, got involved in stock car racing. Quite an impressive story.
Unique participates with Team South Carolina Midlands in events when she is in the area and is a very active participant in the Racers Reunion Website. She is, indeed, a very unique individual and is an absolute pleasure to know and I'm very proud to say she is my friend. The purpose of this post is to relate to you all that Unique and written a book. "Fast Lane Poetry" is the name of the book and it contains many poetic thoughts or racing and the personalities involved. It is quite a good presentation of poetry dedicated to racing and I really enjoy reading her thoughts. For someone like me who never got past "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue", this book is especially poignant for me as it puts a different spin on my sport than the prose of motorsports writers.
The book was published by Publish America.com and I'm sure it can be ordered through that site but you may want to look Unique Hiram up right here on Racers Reunion and drop her an e-mail. Maybe she can lead you in the right direction to order the book. It is well worth adding to your collection of racing books.
