NOW AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE!
Augie Pabst was one of the best American sports car racers
from 1956-1965. He started in small production cars and progressed rapidly to
the best and fastest sports racing cars of the day. Along the way he scored
many major victories and won two National Championships. He not only raced on
all the major US and Canadian courses, but also on the international stage at
Le Mans, Brands Hatch, and Nassau. His career was marked by two-year stints at
three of the very best American teams; Meister Bräuser, Briggs Cunningham, and
Mecom. He raced against and often beat not only the top US drivers, but many
international stars as well.
Pabst had a disarming boyish charm, accentuated by a wide
smile and engaging personality. He raced hard, won often, and had a great time
while doing it. He was a favorite on and off the track and was well-liked by
all who came into contact with him: fellow drivers, team members, and fans
everywhere.

Author Biography
Author
Bob Birmingham was employed by Pabst Motors for ten
years, the last few as Sales Manager. During that time he was privileged to
witness countless Pabst racing victories, often starting well back on the grid
behind him and driving a Fiat 1200 roadster, Stanguellini Formula Junior, Triumph TR3 or Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta coupe. Bob
served on the SCCA Milwaukee Region's Board of Directors and, upon retiring
from competition, as a National Chief Steward. He also had a 27-year career
with Firstar Bank (formerly First Wisconsin National Bank), retiring as a Vice
President, and has since been involved in many volunteer activities.
Bob resides in Mequon, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, with his wife Sally and nearby to his three children and six
grandchildren.
