Hard to read
| Customer Rating: | This book teaches you a lot of good techniques in motorsport.
But one thing that I dont like from this book is that it's little bit harder to read than other books I have read.

Should be on the desk of every Autocross racer
| Customer Rating: | I am not an autocross expert, but I purchased this book as a gift for someone who is an award winning autocross racer. He told me that this is the best book he's ever read on the sport and that it provides extremely practical and useful advice.
There are not many books for autocross racers on the market but the valuable tips in this book make up for that. I would say that if someone who is already successful on the amateur autocross racing circuit feels the book is helpful, it is a good buy(and trust me, this guy is not easily impressed!). |
Pass it up
| Customer Rating: | First off, racing is door to door and wheel to wheel. Solo or autocrossing is not racing. Fun with cars, yes. But not racing.
This booklet is a waste of paper. It's for the guy who wants to talk about autocrossing to other people who've never done it and never will. No organization, stick figure drawings, stuffed full of "job descriptions" for working at an autocross with no usefulness except upping the page count. The "modifications" section is worthless.
He talks of "weight transfer" when he really means inertia loading. He attributes cornering forces to the mythical "centrifugal force" and talks of your body being forced outward, when it's the car accelerating towards the center of the circle.
The first chapter of Skip Barber's "Faster" has more useful information than this entire book.
Oh yes, no "secrets" are revealed.

Oldie but goodie!
| Customer Rating: | | When I first started out autocrossing and doing high performance driving events (HPDEs), I read this book and found the driving techniques discussed to be very helpful and written in a manner I could understand. Even after obtaining additional experience, I found myself going back to this resource and picking-up new things. While the book I've written "Go Ahead - Take the Wheel" discusses the steps necessary to start autocrossing, HPDEs, and wheel-to-wheel racing, this book does a great job of explaining the other side: driving techniques. This book is well worth reading. |
Solo Racing, Best Information available to the new commer
| Customer Rating: | | This is the only publication available that gives a comprehensive overview into the sport, and somewhat eases the frustration of what to expect during the course of a day's event that goes beyond just racing. My driving skills are improving & I'm even thinking of moving up to road racing in Club Racing, or Spec Racing. |
