Really good book for the new or experienced karter. Helped me go from the middle of the pack to the front. It is well written with all the information any karter should know. Also saved me a lot of money and time ont he learning curve.

The book is a good overall book. This covers the basics of all aspects of karting. It was what I was expecting. It gave driving, training, motor and set up tips. This book is not real deep on any subject, but covers the basics on each subject. If you are looking to become an expert in one aspect of karting, this is not for you. If you are just starting out, or want a review of the basics, get this book. It is worth every penny. If you are a parent of a racer, make them read it or read it too them.

This certainly is a very good book, telling the newcomer how to prepare for races, tune a kart, maintain it, and so forth. The information provided in this area is excellent.

Personally, I was hoping for a bit more basic racing information. There really is only one chapter that tells the racer how to go around turns the fastest, how to pass, and how to fight for position. This section is very short, and the descriptions there are not as clear as in the sections about mechanics. A few more illustrations would have been very helpful here.

Of course the fact that I personally hoped for more racing information and less mechanics doesn't make this a bad book. Quite the contrary, actually.

I enjoyed the book. Very good advices, easy to understand and a must-have for rookies like me.

I am very new to the sport but this book was very much a let down. Good information on the beginning of karting but the rest of the book is VERY out dated. Most the information could not be used today.
