Editorial Review: Product Description: Do you ever dream of racing? If you have the desire to drive in wheel-to-wheel road racing events, but do not know how to make this sport a reality, this book is a must-read. "Go Ahead - Take the Wheel" describes the process for you to easily get off the sidelines and begin participating in motorsports from autocrossing, high performance driving events, time trials, to wheel-to-wheel club racing. Have you ever wondered exactly how much it will cost to participate in these various forms of racing? This book actually lays it all out with actual costs, what's needed versus items that would be "nice to have", and various budgets. In this book you will learn how to: Race on your budget - from economy to extravagant; maximize "seat time" - get the most racing for your buck (including free track time!); modify your car to produce the greatest amount of gains; overcome the most common obstacles; gain racing experience before you have a racecar; build your own racecar on a realistic budget; become a front-running driver. Not only is this book extremely informative, it's also fun to read. So stop watching & start racing! Average Rating:

I read the book in a day (which is a HUGE feat for me - I never liked books very much). It is very informative and sometimes humorous. It's laid back, but provides the advice and teachings that would prove very helpful when the time comes. Gran, the author, even goes into explaining how to prep a car... Anyway, I really liked this book. I'd definitely ... Read More Rating: - EXCELLENTTHIS BOOK IS WORTH IT'S WEIGHT IN GOLD. IF YOU HAVE EVERY CONSIDERED RACING, THEN BUY THIS BOOK.

I have a good friend that's been racing SCCA for the past 8-9 years and for the past couple years he's been on my case to give SCCA racing a shot.
