5.0 out of 5 stars What every new karter needs, August 25, 1999
By A Customer
This book is new and very informative. Contrary to other books available on kart racing "Karting A Complete Introduction" is very well written, edited and the photography is excellent. The author approaches the subject very thoroughly and professionally. The book answers all the questions new karters have about all the facets of the sport (dirt, sprint, 2 and 4 cycle etc.). As a recent karter myself, I really appreciate the effort and hope the book will help get more people into American karting. This book is what every new karter needs to get started. Will save people a lot of time and money.

5.0 out of 5 stars What every prospective karter must have, September 6, 2000
By A Customer
This book is what every prospective karter needs.I simply used the lists provided and went on to buy the right parts and equipment. Saved me a lot of time and money. Every prospective karter should have one.

The book is well written, the photos are clear and very helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to the sport., April 6, 2001
By J. Meacham (Pacheco, Ca.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Being new to the sport and needing many questions answered I went for this book. I got everything I needed including lists of the local Karting clubs in the area and karts/parts supliers.

1.0 out of 5 stars Karting A complete introduction
Terrible ! The worst book ever. DO NOT PURCHASE!

Very old, not good information and very out of date. A complete waste of money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book but needs updating
This is a good book for learning about Karting. It was published in 1999 and is somewhat outdated. No mention of the new TAG type motors or racing classes. Read more
