This review is from: Smokey Yunick's Power Secrets (Paperback)
After reading smokeys book 10 years ago I am still in awe of the ideas he had back in the 60s that were advanced for even today. Excellent reading for anyone who loves analytical thinking regarding the development of reliable, maximum horsepower.

Book Review, 9A, Bradbury,
By Bradburys English Class (Burlington, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Smokey Yunick's Power Secrets (Paperback)
Smokey Yunick's Power Secrets was a very informative read about a true legend of the United States. It has helped me to modify smaller applications due to my low funds. I have built the best that I can with the money that I have, and I feel proud to carry down the legacy. I learned alot about my passion in this book and I liked it alot.
