Default Too cool!!! Road & Track reviews "Go Ahead - Take the Wheel"

I am sooo psyched about this! It took quite a bit of work and time, but Road & Track just printed a review for my book "Go Ahead - Take the Wheel." Now just maybe I'll be able to put a dent in my book loans. LOL

It's in their April edition on page 36. Yipppee! Thanks again Honda-Tech for your continued support to help get this out there.

"Dave Gran takes the guesswork out of getting started in road racing, providing a comprehensive step-by-step process along with rough cost estimates for Joe Enthusiast to get his feet wet. Beginning with the basics, namely acquiring seat time for those who have no experience, to eventually shaving off precious tenths in your battle for the pole, Gran keeps a cost-conscious mindset in his approach, interspersed with insider tips from a regular guy who has been through it all. Go Ahead - Take the Wheel is a useful tool for anyone interested in road racing."

I bought this book a while ago and read it 3 times already. I just started autocrossing and am having a blast with my 92 daily driven auto Integra, just trying to get that seat time

I'm seeing your book in more and more places. About a month ago, I spied it in the retail front of OG Racing, the major supplier in the DC area for SCCA and NASA racers.

I hope it's beginning to work out well for you!

Thanks George. Doing this project has been worth it to me on a personal level, but financially it's been a bit tough. The joys of self-publishing.
