Secrets to going fast in the Rain ...

Mine friend has read that book and it's basically about... well, not exactly what you think. It's on my list to read though.

Re: Secrets to going fast in the Rain ...
Karen's been reading a 1/4 of the book to me each evening ... nice luxury to have a "reader!"
If you are a Dog Lover and a Racing Lover ... this is a Must Read. The chapter where "Enzo" finally gets to take hot laps at Thunder Hill are priceless. In another chapter I definitely made a discovery of why I do something in my driving.
This is NOT a book for children however ... because of what happen's in the sub plot.
Click on Hardback ... Used (cheaper then used copies of the newer paperback version. Every used book that I've bought from Amazon has been in almost new condition.) http://www.amazon.com/Art-Racing-Rain-G ... 0061537934

I wasn't able to attend our last event, but I believe the Secret has a name. And it's spelled P-R-I-U-S. (Do I have that right Marshall?)

Actually when it comes to all of you it's spelled B-M-W.
(Cue Gio...)
And when it comes to spelling, don't cue Aaron. Actually. A-C-T-U-A-L-L-Y.

I thought the secret to racing in the rain was putting Will Kalman in the car.
