Så kom den .......endelig !. Her er bogen der ikke kunne købes i 1989 da jeg havde besluttet mig for at ville prøve roadracing på lukket bane. Hvilken cykel skulle man købe, hvad skulle man gøre ved den, hvor kunne man købe reservedele til at ombygge den, hvilket personligt udstyr krævedes der, hvor kunne man køre på den ??. Jo spørgsmålene var mange og ubesvarede for der var faktisk ikke nogen i min omgangskreds der kunne besvare ovenstående, heller intet Internet, Facebook, mm. Kort sagt, jeg var på herrens mark. Løsningen blev "Learning by doing", hvilket da kan have sin charme, men i en materiel sport, også til tider en undøvendig dyr fornøjelseMed denne bog som er fremragende beskrevet, er ikke bare trackdaykørere men måske også "rigtige" racerkørere godt hjulp på vej med såvel tekniske tips, som almindelige gode praktiske råd om hvordan man kommer godt i gang med trackday kørsel. Man behøver måske ikke nødvendigvis at følge bogens tips slavisk, men måske bare tage sin gadecykel og plukke de ideer bogen er fyldt med, inden man tager af sted til det første arrangement.Bogen kan både bruges som inspiration og appetitvækker der forhåbentlig kan inspirere nye til at tage springet ind i denne fantastiske sport der byder på fart, spænding, udfordring under ordnede sikre forhold, samt muligheden for nye venskaber med ligesindede.

These vintage roadsters, sedans, and coups have become very popular because they are the bedrock of the hot rodding culture. However, many rodders have built a rod dedicated to a particular decade, era, region, flavor, or style, but these have lacked all the period correct details, and it''s crucial to get all the details (ie parts) right. If some parts are not of the complementary or the package does not faithfully replicate a particular style or era, the theme of the hot rod can be ruined. Hot rod veteran Gerry Burger explains how to identify, buy, or build the parts to create a faithful period correct hot rod--a car that you will be proud of and will gain the respect from others in the hobby. The book showcases all the parts that make a faithful and consistent hot rod of a certain era, flavor, or style. The book covers 50s and 60s style, both East Coast and West Coast. It details the wide range of stock parts and popular high-performance parts from a particular era. He discusses when they were first produced and when they were in popular use.

Similar chapters also cover, interiors, wheels and tires, frames, suspension, and all other components. When it comes to putting together all the pieces to create an attractive, accurate, and fun hot rod from the 50s, 60s, and 70s, no other book is a better guide than How to Build Period Correct Hot Rods.
