 There is no one big trick to make your car handle better, rather it's
all the little things done right that will make you consistently fast.
As you will gather from this book, setting up your car right and
properly maintaining it is a lot of work. That extra effort is what
separates the front runners from the rest of the field. It costs just
as much money, if not more, to run poorly, so you might as well learn
to run well."I bought your book last year and went from 12th in points to 4th. I also won my first race this year loved your book and your ideas they made all the difference." Larry Venable, Virginia |
