In 1999, Tracy and Sam Cassel co-authored a book titled, “Evel Ways: A Daring Approach to Life, the Attitude of Evel Knievel.” It was the only book authorized by Knievel.

This Sunday, September 8, marks the 50th anniversary of the famous televised event. Tracy Cassel, Evel Knievel memorabilia collector and friend, recalls the moment.

A collector at heart, Tracy Cassel's basement is covered with Gonzaga basketball lore, nods to Washington State football Rose Bowls, and countless autographs from the famous stuntman Evel Knievel.
