Neither is it intended to explain how to buy a kart, register for a race meet, etc.\u003cbr\u003e Herein are found many of the \"little things\", and the reasons for those practices, that most experienced racers have learned over a period of many years. These discussions are centered about the 4-stroke engine, with little specifically associated with the 2-stroke classes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe reasons for this omission are: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \t\u003cli\u003eIt seems that most beginners start in the relatively slower, and less expensive, 4-strokes, rather than in the faster and more expensive 2-strokers.\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e4-stroke engines seem to offer more opportunities for the new racer to experiment, and to learn some of the relationships between various areas in the mechanical aspects of racing vehicles.\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003eEverything in this book, with the exception of references to valve trains, applies to both the 2-stroke and the 4-stroke engine\/chassis combinations.\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003eFinally, and perhaps most important, everything offered here (except chain and centrifugal clutch info) will apply directly to other types of racing vehicles that may be encountered.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eYou will find that racing in karting, Formula 1, Indy, NASCAR, etc., is a mass of compromises. For example a car cannot be geared for both acceleration and top speed. Setting up for easiest handling in left turns and right turns and straights is another example of compromising.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBill Starrett\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eOther Details\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003ePublisher Code:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eSS-S163\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eISBN 10:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e0936834633\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eISBN 13:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003ePublished:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e215x275mm\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003ePages:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e79\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eIllustrations:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eSoft Bound, b\/w ill\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eBarcode:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e9780936834634\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Steve Smith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47627795267804,"sku":"9780936834634","price":52.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/8297\/3404\/files\/b1498_4cycle_kart_technology__36978.1339460266.1280.1280.jpg?v=1772084403","url":"https:\/\/automotobookshop.com.au\/products\/4-cycle-karting-technology","provider":"Automoto Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
