I love kart racing.
Seriously.
So I wrote a book about it. I wanted it to be the book I wish I had when I started racing. It's more than a book - it's a tool designed to educate new and veteran racers and you'll refer to it often. Learn faster, be faster... faster. (Second Edition due Summer 2025)

Knowledge is speed...
Understanding Oval Track Race Karts
This book was written by racers, for racers - at any level - dirt or pavement. It explains, in easy-to-understand detail, everything from understanding the key to making a race kart do it's thing - weight transfer - to how each component works, how to correctly assemble a kart, tuning the kart, and addressing handling issues. Learn about stagger, crossweight, scaling, seat and body mounting, caster, camber, and everything in between.
Don't spend the money on a chassis, tires, wheels, clutches, tachometers, safety gear, a trailer, tools without having the one book of knowledge that teaches you how to get the most out of it all. This is the book - The Read for Speed.
