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.

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.
