Winning on the race track isn't all about horsepower. Sure, you need big numbers to power down the track, but you'll still be left on the line if you don't get that power to the ground. This book is a comprehensive guide to help you hook up.
Inside you'll find detailed information and photos on basic chassis design, how to set ride height, tubing costruction, standard axle housings, choosing gear ratios, transmission choices, bolt-on traction bars, 4-link setups, ladder bars, anti-roll bars, steering, shocks, springs, brakes, wheels, tyres, safety equipment and a lot more!
You can also use this book to help you build a a street-legal machine that can see double-duty as a weekend racer.
