Fundamentally, this is what auto racing is all
about. Focus. Drive. Smoothness...and a touch of fear for flavor :).
Secrets of Solo Racing; Henry A. Watts, Motorbooks
International, ISBN 0-9620573-1-2. My personal favorite. Full of great information on how
to get started, and how to get faster! Very practical, with subtle humour throughout that
makes the book a very enjoyable read. This is the first book you should buy!
How to Make Your Car Handle; Fred Puhn, HP Books, ISBN nnn.
Outstanding book to start learning how to evaluate and modify performance suspensions.
Winning Autocross SOLO II Competition; Richard Turner &
J.B. Miles, Turner Design, ISBN nnn. A good technical overview of Autocross driving. The
tone of the book is very serious and filled with opinions stated as absolutes, but still a
good addition to the library.
Bob Bondurant on High Performance Driving; Bob Bondurant with
John Blakemore, Motorbooks International, ISBN 0-87938-751-3. A little too much of a
biography of Bob Bondurant and his school (Whaddya know - Paul Williams drives race
cars!), but still a good read. Some outstanding photos that display what other books only
talk about.
