5.0 out of 5 stars
What a great guide!,
By James Newton (Ma, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Idiot's Guide to Stock Car Racing (Mass Market Paperback)
I found this book to be informative and fun to read. I race at the a local level and have used much of this information to help my own program along. I passed it along to my crew members so they can be on the same page I am. We look forward to using more of the information in this book in the coming race season. Thanks to all involved! finally a book on racing with factual usable information.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Now I feel like I can race!,
By Richard Brandstetter (Bronx New York.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Idiot's Guide to Stock Car Racing (Mass Market Paperback)
This Book is a great learning experience for anyone. I liked this book so much I read it twice already! I bought this book because I wanted to know more about NASCAR racing, and now that I read it all cover to cover, I feel like I can go out and win a race. This book totally exceeded my expectaions, and I recommend it for all NASCAR fans. If you are at all interested in racing, then I highly recommend this book. You will find everything a race fan could ever want to know. I found answers to questions I had about Stock car racing, and why they choose to do things that from my perspective, sometimes dont seem right, but always seem to work out ok. I know so much now i will watch the races from a completely different perspective.
