Dynamics of Speed

• goes into all of the detail on karting dynamics so that the karter can get their hands around what's really going on

• provides not only theory and textual explanation, but also gives charts, graphs and tabular data which presents real data to help the karter get a true understanding and feel for just how much of the different dynamic aspects of their karts are changing
