Winning Ingredients for Soap Box Derby Kit Cars

This is the best book you'll ever find on Soap Box Derby racing! It's an improvement over David Fulton's previous Winning Ingredients book in two ways: 1) It now covers the kit cars that dominate today's Derby, and 2) It's bigger and more comprehensive than the previous book. I've read both books and they're both full of information you'd never find out for yourself without spending many years racing and researching as Mr. Fulton has done (His sons have been big winners, including winning the big national race at Akron).This is also an educational book for dads and their sons and daughters to read, since it explains a lot of the science involved in gravity racing. It's an excellent textbook on the physics of energy and weight management, aerodynamics and other basics, and it includes the results of experiments Mr. Fulton has done to check out how these factors apply to Derby cars. It also gives tips for the young drivers on how to run faster. There are lots of excellent illustrations, done by the author, and it's easy to navigate these books to find answers to your questions. Soap Box Derby racing is great fun for kids and their families, but it's even more fun when they can win!

Great book.
