Racing Books

Good book for anyone that is just getting into racing. Lots of questions answered.

This was a cool exciting book about a young jockey getting threatening phone calls. It also tells a little about her dog. This is a book that all horse lovers, racing fans, and mystery seekers should read.

Really exciting to read. Constant adventure! I am in love with the horses and unicorns in this book. They can talk! Alea is a great author and is only a teenager!

We listened to this on a long road trip, and it kept the children and parents entertained. Jim Weiss has a fantastic voice. It left us wanting to hear more of his stories!

maybe a little lax in some detail and in mathematics but it's called a "practical guide." which, is exactly what it is. a great complement to hucho's work and also to katz's. easily the most enjoyable and stimulating of the how to books for race cars.

I found this book to do a fine job of meeting its stated objectives of giving general guidelines to the beginning and intermediate level racer. I would consider it a "must read" for anyone seriously thinking about buying or preparing a car for competition. While it is less technical than a Carrol Smith book, and it isn't a "how-to" cookbook, it does guide the reader through the thought processes which should be undertaken prior to spending hard earned money.

Mr. McBeath's writing style is both clear and entertaining. It takes the reader only a short time to realize he has "been there, done that". I first became aware of Mr. McBeath's skills after reading articles he has written for "Race Car Engineering" magazine. His understanding of the subject matter is evident and he teachs from the point of view that most racers can appreciate, that is, how to do things on a limited budget.

The book is geared towards road racers as opposed to the circle track or drag racing crowd and many of the references are for the UK audience. But the lessons to be learned can benefit anybody willing to take the time to give what he says some thought.

The photographs and the illustrations are used to clarify and are fine quality. It's worth the price.

I am new to sailing and I found this book invaluable. Bill Welch really knows his stuff!

Who knew physics could be so interesting? Dr. Gahwyler explains how weight, balance, and gravity affects our riding. This book is an illuminating blend of physics, kinesiology, and dressage!

This was the last copy of this book ever written that told of the death of FireBall Roberts. The events that surounded the accident.This book is for sale if interested please email me ASAP...@ CMetcalf@BellSouth.Net

This book is the definitive book on the sport of kings, covering EVERYTHING that happens in the stables, on the track, and at the betting windows. From the great horses of the past to a comparison of handicapping systems, from naming horses to evaluating them, from the auction ring to the training ring, from the classic races to how to read the Daily Racing Forms, it's all here in one fascinating, exciting, and useful book.
