Well, it happened again…the books piled up on my desk and it is time to offer a few words about four you might want to have for yourself. Competition Car Aerodynamics – A Practical handbook by Simon McBeath Aerodynamics doesn’t play a huge part in land speed racing for those who have a fine time playing speed racer in the sub 200MPH range, but when you start carving out your spot in triple digits north of 250 this “invisible” science is one of the most important factors in modern competition car design. Before you leather-clad competitors start hissing please know I agree that bikes are the exception, that good aero styling at any speed is as much a part of safety as it is velocity. Spinning a car and have a bike swap ends have massively dif- ferent outcomes. When Competition Car Aerody- namics by Simon McBeath arrived I was expecting a dead serious, three-coffee- cup, pinched brow read with “explain this please” phone calls to my favorite aero wizard Craig McCarthy at Aerodine in Indianapolis. Surprise! Other than the math, which often induces spurts of cuss- ing, I found the book to be exceptionally easy-to-understand, digesting great chunks on whatever page I flipped to in the 287 page second edition. Caution: Simon is a Brit and there- fore spells funny and odd terms we Yanks might scratch our heads over (I live with one of Her Majesty’s own and am often amused by the weird phraseology), but his straight-forward writing style for this normally complex technical subject mat- ter is to be commended. Although there are precious few ref- erences to land speed racing, the text does not make any assumptions on the reader and offers basic instruction, including a glossary of terms and abbrevi- ations that serve anyone seeking stability by resolving forces and reactions at speed. McBeath reminds racers “one of the most sensible things you can try to do is to separate the mechanical balance of your car from the aerodynamic balance.” First published in 2006, this updated, 10-chapter version has great chapters on wings, airdams, splitters, spoilers and for the zippy fast folks – the very important underbody aerodynamics. The book also covers down force, drag, wind-tunnel studies, a full chapter on CFD (Computa- tional Fluid Dynamics) and plenty of illustrations and color diagrams to dem- onstrate how aerodynamic devices work. From my perspective, this hardcover book from Haynes Publishing (ISBN: 0857330071) will give amateur and semi- professional racer/designers/drivers a useful understanding of the subject.

Competition Car Aerodynamics – A
Practical handbook by Simon McBeath
Aerodynamics doesn’t play a huge part in land speed racing for those who have a fine time playing speed racer in the sub 200MPH range, but when you start carving out your spot in triple digits north of 250 this “invisible” science is one of the most important factors in modern competition car design.
Before you leather-clad competitors
start hissing please know I agree that bikes are the exception, that good aero styling at any speed is as much a part of safety as it is velocity. Spinning a car and have a bike swap ends have massively dif-ferent outcomes.
When Competition Car Aerody-namics by Simon McBeath arrived I was expecting a dead serious, three-coffee-cup, pinched brow read with “explain this please” phone calls to my favorite aero wizard Craig McCarthy at Aerodine in Indianapolis. Surprise! Other than the math, which often induces spurts of cuss-ing, I found the book to be exceptionally easy-to-understand, digesting great chunks on whatever page I flipped to in the 287 page second edition.
Caution: Simon is a Brit and there-fore spells funny and odd terms we Yanks might scratch our heads over (I live with one of Her Majesty’s own and am often amused by the weird phraseology), but his straight-forward writing style for this normally complex technical subject mat-ter is to be commended.
Although there are precious few ref-
erences to land speed racing, the text does not make any assumptions on the reader and offers basic instruction, including a glossary of terms and abbrevi-ations that serve anyone seeking stability by resolving forces and reactions at speed.
McBeath reminds racers “one of the most sensible things you can try to do is to separate the mechanical balance of your car from the aerodynamic balance.”
First published in 2006, this updated, 10-chapter version has great chapters on wings, airdams, splitters, spoilers and for the zippy fast folks – the very important underbody aerodynamics.

Haynes Pocket Manual: World’s Fastest Cars by Richard Dredge
Part of a new series of small books that boasts of “providing factual and practical information on a wide range of popular subjects” the book, I am sad to say, contains a number of “facts” that have not been checked. Because the books are aimed at children I am a bit annoyed with the publisher for not taking greater care. We adults have a duty to give kids straight talk, not fantasy facts.
Am I out of line? Consider these points: The land speed record section is seriously out-of-date and lopsided in its offering using a photo of Donald Camp-bell’s 1964 Proteus Bluebird record and totally ignores the current wheel driven record holder, Don and Rick Vesco’s Tur-binator, 458MPH (October 18, 2001).

started in the late 1940s on the dry lakes bed of California’s Mojave Desert”. Sorry, wrong sport. Land speed racing that began in the 1920’s at Harper’s, Muroc and El Mirage dry lakes that decades later gave rise to the sport of drag racing. The iconic performance parts so well known today were developed and tested on those dusty playas long before Wally Parks ever thought of NHRA.
Drag racing, as any 1/4-mile histori-an will tell you, got its start on an abandoned Goleta, California airstrip in 1950. That same year CJ “Pappy” and Peggy Hart founded Santa Ana Drag Strip in Orange County, California cementing the sport recognized world-wide today.
On page 13 of the drag racing sec-tion is “Slammin’” Sammy Miller’s Vanishing Point rocket car from 1979 when it ran 317MPH/4.2 ET at Eng-land’s Santa Pod. It is listed as a “key car” and ignores the fact that nearly EVERY funny car and top fuel dragster today runs in excess of 300MPH!
Give me a break. When you use the term “World’s Fastest” in the title I expect you to do proper research and give readers a worldwide, not a myopic chest thumper conf ined to the UnionJack folks.
Sammy was a friend of mine, raced with him often, but even he would laugh about his “key car” status 30 years after the fact. Dredge is out of his comfort zone writing about the world stage.Or did the Haynes editors screw upthis book?
Charles Burnett III’s Inspiration on page 31 highlighted as a “key car” yet is simply called “steam car” and only touts second driver Don Wales’ record but totally ignores Burnett the American who devoted nearly 10 years of his life and personal fortune to developing the car at his Newtown Park Estate in southern England.
Finally, on page 36 and 37 are a cou-ple nice photos of the hydrogen powered Buckeye Bullet built and operated by Ohio State University students.
There are 171 color illustrations on the 128 pages, 100 of which are devoted to the various ultra-fast road cars and this where the books shines for kids. From the 9FF remade Porsche to the Danish Zenvo, Dredge collected some marvelous photos and offers a few tantalizing bits on each car.
