My wife sent this book to my father for father's day as he hates the fact I race cars. I'm hoping it gives him some different perspective on why we think the way we do. Also, the entire time all I could picture was me and my dog!

I'll throw in a 2 big thumbs up.

I really liked the book.

The writer is a Spec Miata club racer

The book/publisher are sponsoring a Koni Challenge entry this year with Kevin York (SpeedSecrets and Hooked on Driving) and Christian Miller as the drivers. They were 2nd in points until this weekend when they had a BIG crash into the wall at turn 1 Mosport destroying the car.

Rain? What's that?

Apparently Nicolas Minassian read it (driver of the Peugeot LMP1 car in the rain on slicks this weekend)
