Competition Car Preparation
3 May 2000
Format:Hardcover
I found this book to do a fine job of meeting its stated objectives of giving general guidelines to the beginning and intermediate level racer. I would consider it a "must read" for anyone seriously thinking about buying or preparing a car for competition. While it is less technical than a Carrol Smith book, and it isn't a "how-to" cookbook, it does guide the reader through the thought processes which should be undertaken prior to spending hard earned money.
Mr. McBeath's writing style is both clear and entertaining. It takes the reader only a short time to realize he has "been there, done that". I first became aware of Mr. McBeath's skills after reading articles he has written for "Race Car Engineering" magazine. His understanding of the subject matter is evident and he teachs from the point of view that most racers can appreciate, that is, how to do things on a limited budget.
The book is geared towards road racers as opposed to the circle track or drag racing crowd and many of the references are for the UK audience. But the lessons to be learned can benefit anybody willing to take the time to give what he says some thought.
The photographs and the illustrations are used to clarify and are fine quality. It's worth the price.
