<p>Have you ever watched racing and wished you could be out there yourself but for one reason or another haven't figured out how to make it a reality? Maybe you have the misconception racing is just a rich man's sport and isn't possible for the average Joe. Then there are other people who have a larger budget but simply don't know where to begin. Let's face it, preparing yourself and your car for racing can be intimidating. You can spend lots of good money and get nowhere in a hurry. This is exactly why the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) had a special edition of Go Ahead - Take the Wheel written. This comprehensive guide to motosports provides everything you need to get started in Solo events (aka autocross), Performance Driving Events (aka high performance driving events), Time Trials, and wheel-to-wheel Club Racing. Learn how to race on your budget from economy to extravagant, maximize the time you have out on the track, modify your car to produce the greatest amount of gains, how to build your own racecar, and become a front-running driver. People just don't know how attainable racing truly is. Heck, did you know you can safely use your street car and participate in Solo events for as low as $20? This resource is guaranteed to save you time, money, and lots of frustration. So stop watching and start racing! Author's Note: This edition primarily contains the same content as the original edition of Go Ahead - Take the Wheel but tailored towards SCCA. Additional reviews can be seen on the original edition's Amazon page as well.</p>
