Drag Racing : How to Get Started

Beskrivning:

If you´ve ever dreamed of pulling a car to a dragstrip's starting line, nailing the throttle, and screaming down the quarter-mile, this book is for you. You don't need a six-figure budget, sponsors, and a supercharged, nitro-breathing monster to compete at the strip; your daily car can be your entry to the world of drag racing competition.
In Drag Racing: How to Get Started, author and NHRA World Driving Champion Frank Hawley guides the beginning racer through each phase of quarter-mile competition. Surprises are eliminated and trial-and-error learning minimized as Hawley shares the strategies and secrets he has learned over years of competition.
Preparing your car and yourself, weather and performance, correct staging, reading the "Christmas tree," safety, leaving the line, lowering your times, and the mental game are just some of the topics Hawley addresses in readying you for your first race outings.
As the founder of Frank Hawley's Drag Racing School, Hawley has had the opportunity to observe racers of all skill levels, and he knows what you must learn to succeed at the strip.
Whether you're a new racer, seasoned competitor, or race fan, you'll enjoy the insider details, tips, and strategies in Drag Racing: How to Get Started.
