Originally published in 1949 by Floyd Clymer, this edition was
republished in 2010 by VelocePress. This comprehensive and
informative book, written in easy to understand language, puts the
capability of designing and building a 1950's era midget racing car
or a three-quarter (dirt track) car within reach of the home-based
enthusiast. The fundamental principles described in this book may
also be applied to the construction of a 50's track roadster or
even a custom built hot rod. Highly technical terminology and
engineering terms have been avoided, as the aim of this book is to
define the construction process in clear and understandable terms,
regardless of the reader's technical background or training. The
principles it contains are just as relevant today as they were some
50 years ago when this book was first written. The design process
is clearly explained, the raw materials required are described, and
the construction process is presented in an easy-to-follow step by
step procedure. Obviously, this book would also be a valuable
reference for anyone contemplating repairing, refurbishing or
restoring a vintage racing car. This edition also includes a 38
page bonus section featuring a reproduction of an appropriate
Offenhauser Speed Equipment catalog. Out-of-print and unavailable
for many years, this book is becoming increasingly more difficult
to find on the secondary market and we are pleased to be able to
offer this reproduction as a service to all those vintage
automotive race car builders and enthusiasts worldwide.
