Do not be deterred by the age of this book. It gives a broad-ranging and well-written coverage of what car handling is all about and what you can do to your own car, if you are so inclined. I actually bought it to learn more about setting up 1/10th electric racers rather than a street car. All of Puhn's 'big car stuff' at first seemed irrelevant but he covers both concepts and practicalities so well that it proved of great value. Highly recommended and, at its cut-price, a real bargain.
