Reviews

Victory Lane Magazine , July 2006 Every racer - vintage or contemporary - will benefit from reading this book for the performance and safety.


Vintage Oval Racing, September 2006 We might as well say it up front, every racer - vintage or contemporary - will benefit from reading this book for performance and safety. It is a very useful handbook for all racers and requires careful reading and thought, but not a technical degree.
