Agree, ds. It's a little expensive now, though. Here, on Amazon. I also suspect the info is a little dated, as at the time of publishing, carbon fiber was not used on the race cars that Smith was so expert in.

A humorous anecdote. Smith had several books with similar titles. "Prepare to Win". "Design to Win". "Engineer to Win". And "Tune to Win". When he wrote the fastener book, his first suggested title was "Screw to Win". The publisher steered him in a different direction, I guess.
