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.

Karen's been reading a 1/4 of the book to me each evening ... nice luxury to have a "reader!" :thumbup:

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.

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?)

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