I saw this pretty favorably-reviewed new book over at honda-tech and thought I'd post the link here for anyone interested. I've ordered a copy myself, planning on getting into some type of road racing. I've not read it yet, so I can't say whether it's good or not but the reviews seem to be glowing.

Go Ahead Take The Wheel is the name of the book.

 

I'm starting to work on building my GTO to road race (full suspension package and twin turbo system from Australia). So, thanks for the link.

 

^ holden monaro?

 

That's what the Aussies call it, yes.

 

Sounds cool, Ryan. I can imagine that'll be a handful of car on the track! I've never road raced but I'm planning on doing some autox and maybe a couple track days next spring and summer. After doing that some, I may buy/build a Honda race car and see about getting into SCCA or NASA wheel-to-wheel racing.

I read this book cover-to-cover and it really demystifies getting into racing on a limited budget. Low buck doesn't sound at all like low fun. The book's a great investment if you just want to learn about what's involved in getting started...
