Anyone know if there is an updated version of the book "How To Make Your Car Handle"? This one:
The first printing is 25yrs old and while many of the principles are the same, a lot has changed in 25yrs. I checked Amazon and looked for a website for HP books (couldn't find one). If anyone knows if there's a second (updated) printing, let me know.

Thanks for the link. I did a search on their site and all I got was "Sorry, your search for "how to make your car handle" produced no results" so maybe it's out of print.

This may be off-topic somewhat, but I have that book and became concerned about the correctness of its content (as you said, it's 25 years old) when I read how it explained cornerbalancing. I recall it said the car is properly cornerbalanced when the Rear:Front Weight Ratio is the same on Left side and Right side. Today, the conventional wisdom, from what I have read and heard, is that a car is properly cornerbalanced when the Diagonal Weights are equal (though there is at least one raceshop that currently supports the R:F ratio method http://www.elephantracing.com/techto...nerbalance.htm ). I have yet to find a scientific explanation as to which of these (or any other) is the correct method of cornerbalancing, so I just go by the conventional diagonal method.

Thanks for that link Richard, very informative.

If anyone knows if there's a 2nd (or 3rd, etc.) printing of "How To Make Your Car Handle" or another book about handling, let me know.
