Smokey is still the man!

Having been a engine builder in many forms of racing, I am a firm believer that Smokey has forgot more than most of us ever learned. A new engine builder can read this book and gain a lifetime's expierience in one day. My copy has hi-liter yellow on every worn out, dog eared page. For those of you who arent familiar with "southern" english, here is a rule of thumb... When he says pay attention, he is telling you something he has spent millions of dollars and thousands of hours proving! I re-read this book trying to find an example of how time may have passed his knowledge base by. Guess what? It hasnt! Major auto manufactuers and aftermarket parts companies like Chevrolet and TRW hired Smokey to do the research on thier major designs. He is the man who designed the TRW forged piston. almost every other racing piston you buy is made from a forged blank puchased from TRW. The basics never change in race engine building. Read and learn from a true master.
Thanks,
Tom Williams
