This technical racing book is a collection of Smokey's columns from the period when he used to write for Circle Track magazine.
Some extracts from the back of the book are:
First thing I saw on the office wall at G.M. when they hired me to run a Chevrolet was "The price of progress is trouble" - Kettering. That man knew what the hell he was talking about.
I've always had an attraction for speed and mechanical things. Everything in life is timing but I didn't know that, but for a curious minded person addicted to speed, I was there at exactly the right time. Stock car racing was a format whereby everyone started even.
In the technical part of this book consider this, that which deals with physics and chemistry will never change. Nature and this planet dictates what we can and can't do. However, there are many ways to skin a cat and how you skin the cat is what will never stop changing. There are no limits to mans' ingenuity, just as mans' ingenuity will never conquer forces and behaviour of this plant.
