Book Reviews of Autocross Performance Handbook (Motorbooks Workshop)

Book Review: Looking to begin racing & searching for a guide how
Summary: 3 Stars

I've been interested in getting into autocrossing and purchased this book in hopes it would help me find my way. The book is full of color pictures, many of which I found interesting but after a while began to feel it took away from the substance of the written material. I will say the book also does a nice job of explaining the various SCCA classes and what is required to meet the class specifications.

I also recently read another book that talks about how people can begin participating in motorsports including autocrossing - "Go Ahead - Take the Wheel" by Dave Gran. I would highly recommend that book to anyone interested in motorsports! Actually, if one buys both books and use them together, you'll have all the information one could need to get into autocrossing (and other forms of racing Dave talks about in his book).

Summary of Autocross Performance Handbook (Motorbooks Workshop)

For autocross drivers who race the cars they drive every day, this handbook covers everything from choosing the best class and car to tuning, modifying, and racing that car.
