In motorsports there have been an endless series of performance
advances where one wonders, how did they ever figure this out?
Other times one asks, how did they not see this when the answer was
there for all to see? These are the stories of discovery by 3
generations of racers and designers, who changed the state of the
art forever. It is also the story of clever tricks and rule book
interpretation to win the ever-escalating contest between rule
makers and loophole seekers, told by those directly involved in
Formula One, Le Mans, Indycar, IMSA, Moto GP, Trans-Am and NASCAR.
Their innovations dazzled us all.
This "how-to" book seeks to remove the intimidation of learning to
ride a motorcycle and shows the reader exactly how easy and
enjoyable it can be...no matter what your age. The author began
riding at the age of 55 and has already logged over 91,000 miles on
a motorcycle. "Riding has become my primary source of recreation,"
says author Chris Torti, a retired executive of a large non-profit
health agency from Austin, Texas. This book will provide the reader
with everything he or she needs to know about choosing a
motorcycle, learning to ride it safely and properly, how to
maintain it, and, most of all, how to stay safe on the roadways and
enjoy the ride. The book is short and written in easy-to-understand
terms. It is available in paperback, Kindle format, and PDF format
for easy downloading.

The early career of Don Prudhomme is captured in this
spine-tingling account of the 1973 Nationals at Indianapolis
Raceway Park. Master writer Hal Higdon spent the race weekend
shadowing Prudhomme during a race that was the turning point in The
Snake's dominating Funny Car racing career. Higdon captured the
weekend drama minute-by-minute as Snake fights for a chance to make
history. Along the way, Higdon delves into Prudhomme's history as a
racer, giving the reader insight into how Don Prudhomme became a
household name in the early 1970s. The account includes Prudhomme's
relationship with Tom "Mongoonse" McEwen - the infamous Snake
versus Mongoose rivalry that made both men's careers. Higdon takes
the readers behind the wheel, into the pits and back along the hard
road where years of planning and training reach their climax for a
driver within a space of seconds.
