I am a friend (and a friendly competitor on Los Angeles radio!) of the author and I have watched Joe West work hard the past few months to put this book together. My ONLY complaint? *I* didn't think of the idea first! It is well-organized, easy to read and use for 'net veterans and first-timers alike, and deserves a place not just on your bookshelf, but right next to your computer for daily use!

I've been online for years and have followed racing for decades but not until I received this book did I every have any indication how many great racing sites there are on the Net. I really enjoy this book. It's perfect for anybody who loves any kind or racing.

I picked up this book because my husband is such a NASCAR nut, I thought he'd find a few things of interest. Well I'm the one using it most. Racing really is fun when you know the sites to visit. I've learned alot and had to buy 2 more copies because our friends loved it too. Organized for fast, easy reference and funny too.

I just got the book! And I am amazed! I have been working in Racing Related web work for over 5 years now and this book brought me to sites I never knew existed! All excellent sites with many extra, and most FREE services for all Racing Fans. Thank you!

I just got this book and started visiting all the incredible AUTO RACING sites on the Net. Finally I can get to great racing sites without all the clutter that the search engines provide. Thank you, thank you, thank you for writing such an incredible book.

Being a rookie on the Net but a veteran fan of NASCAR, I was at first apprehensive of the book. However, I was pleasantly surprised at the easy to read, easier to understand format. I found things about racing that amazed me. A fine blend of humor and information makes this the perfect "read and click" gift for fans, family and mouseophobics who love racing.

I'm very happy with this book. I've found a lot of good auto racing stuff I never even knew was out there like a site that features vintage auto racing posters and another one that's got a great collection of old black & white racing photos from the 50's and 60's. There's lots of photo sites listed and a site that has all the scanner frequencies for just about any series you can name. I found a few dead links, but I guess there's not much you can do about that. I recommend this book for anybody who loves racing!

This book is a true diamond in the rough. It lists 300 wonderful racing web sites. The book gives the names and addresses for each of the recommended sites, including detailed and descriptive information about each site. This is a MUST for all racing fans!

Books of this nature are always limited by timeliness (sites come and go -- and change -- so quickly). The fifth star is only withheld because of that unavoidable limitation. This is as good and complete a guite to auto racing on the Web as I can imagine. I'm an auto racing nut who's been online for almost 20 years, and I found stuff I had never seen in this book. Kudos to the author.

They say a person spends one-third of their life sleeping. Since becoming a motorsports site webmaster, I have found that number to be quite high! Thanks to this Incredible book, however, I am able to spend less time messing with unforgiving search engines ... and closing back in on that one-third number! Thanks for including our site and thank you for creating this handy roadmap to the information superspeedway.
