*way* off topic - chassis design

[Sandy]

Another book on handeling that is pretty good to get you up to speed, and
is written for the racer, is the book by Herb Adams, "Chassis Engineering"
from HP Books. Pretty simple in discussion of all the various aspects of
chassing design and handeling. Good for a starter book.
