Engineer To Win
Carroll Smith, August 1984, 19 Chapters, 280 Pages, Paperbound
$40.00

It's no secret that lost races and crashes are caused by what is usually referred to as mechanical failure. But author Carroll Smith rightly contends that all failures are human in origin. Poor designs, incorrect manufacture and assembly, unreasonable demands, and negligent maintenance all lead to the dreaded "mechanical failure."

Engineer To Win details racing materials technology and many other related subjects.
