Great Collection of Racing Links
I've been online for years and have followed racing for decades but not until I received this book did I every have any indication how many great racing sites there are on the Net. I really enjoy this book. It's perfect for anybody who loves any kind or racing.

Not for the web-savy racing fan!
If you already have a good collection of racing "favorites" in your browser, then this book may not be for you.Although I found a "few" sites I didn't know, most of the sites were either main sites racing enthusiasts already knew or were people's personal sites. I did like the Teenie Bikini site (of course!) but as a webmaster and web enthusiast, I found the book a little disappointing.

The Off-Line Search Engine
They say a person spends one-third of their life sleeping. Since becoming a motorsports site webmaster, I have found that number to be quite high! Thanks to this Incredible book, however, I am able to spend less time messing with unforgiving search engines ... and closing back in on that one-third number! Thanks for including our site and thank you for creating this handy roadmap to the information superspeedway.

As good as possible
Books of this nature are always limited by timeliness (sites come and go-- and change -- so quickly). The fifth star is only withheld because ofthat unavoidable limitation. This is as good and complete a guite to autoracing on the Web as I can imagine. I'm an auto racing nut who's beenonline for almost 20 years, and I found stuff I had never seen in thisbook. Kudos to the author.
