This review is from: Door Slammers: The Chassis Book (Paperback)

I have read this book probably 10 times. Each time I read it I learn something new. When I get upside down in my 4-link suspension, I pull out this book and go back to basics. It is written so that any high school graduate can understand it but alot of the material and concepts are college level. If you want to understand how your race suspension really works, I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must have for all drag racers, June 23, 2003

This review is from: Door Slammers: The Chassis Book (Paperback)

I have read this book over and over and learn something new each time. I have assisted in the construction of full tube chassis prior to this book and learned a good deal about what is written in this book. After reading the book, I have a true understanding of why we built things the way we did.
There is a ton of information that most drag racers do not know in this book. After reading Door Slammers, you will find out how ignorant most people are when it comes to chassis setup and how to make a car hook. You'll see that what you used to do in order to hook, is probably wrong. You will also find out what you should have done.

Great Book!!!

I've wanted this book for quite a while and when I got it, I wasn't a bit disappointed. If you're into the nuts and bolts of drag racing, you need this book. Even though the technology has moved forward since this book was first published, the book isn't dated. Dave has a way of explaining the set-up without being too technical. A definite thumbs up for this book.
