I love kart racing.
Seriously.
So I wrote two books about it. I wanted them to be the book I wish I had when I started racing. It's a tool designed to help racers at any level. Learn faster to be faster... faster. And the new Second Edition, The Read for Speed, is an improved and expanded version of the First Edition.

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 components work together, how to correctly assemble a kart, tuning the kart, and addressing handling issues. Learn about stagger, crossweight, scaling, seat and body mounting, caster, camber, tires, tire prep programs, tire prep, and everything in between.
Don't spend the money on a chassis, tires, wheels, clutches, tachometers, safety gear, a trailer, tools without having a book of knowledge that teaches you how to get the most out of it all. This is the book - The Read for Speed.
