In the preface of PREPARE TO WIN I threatened that, if the book were successful, it would be followed by TUNE TO WIN. Because of you, the readers, PREPARE TO WIN has been a modest success- modest enough so that I have not thrown away my stop watches and drafting tools but successful enough to motivate me to get started on TUNE TO WIN. I do so with a certain amount of reluctance. I am constantly reminded of Eric Broadley's reply to a serious inquiry as to why no designer has written anything resembling a comprehensive study of racing car design- "Probably because no one is willing to expose the depths of his ignorance to public view." Too true! I am fully aware that much of what I have to say in this book is subjective. I wish that my knowledge and wisdom were such that this were not so. Many readers are going to disagree with my interpretations, conclusions and recommendations. I offer no apology. In each case I will put forth my personal best shot on the subject at the time of writing. I reserve my right to change my thinking at any time. |
