Hello dudes! I`m one of the 1st luckies, who had ordered this book. The book is great! I have bought such kind of books before. They are simply manuals kind of "Kart racing for dummies". But this one is scientific based theory. Mr. Franchuk describes and tells why we have to do somthing to recieve this or that result on track. The book is very simple to read and to understand.
Great work! Thanks to mr. Franchuk!

Or conversely, you can also check out the new free on line setup theory videos on http://kracer.com.au to help get you started. There are videos available under each component heading. There is a very good video on roll stiffness under "chassis and bars"
you win some, you loose some and you wreck some...

James Leong has this book in his office. I was browsing through it. It looks like it has some great material and actually explains things rather than just "we did it once and it worked." It looks like a good read even for experienced karters because it will explain things that you've only learned through trial and error before.

Actually for beginners it might be a bit overwhelming because it has so much information and isn't just a simple A=B book. I'll have to read a bit more to form a proper opinion on it but so far it looks really good other than the grammar.
