Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you're an absolute beginner or novice who is wanting to take the plunge into the world of motorsports but aren't sure how to go about doing it, The Guide to Road Racing on a Budget is for you. With valuable information included which will save you from countless hours of digging through online forums, this book contains tried and true methods which set the stage for getting started including forming a budget, choosing a car, safety, track days, and ultimately getting you on the track. With the budget being the emphasis, this book aims to get budding drivers on the race track while maintaining an efficient and disciplined use of a racing budget. Although experienced drivers probably won't get much out of this book, The Guide to Road Racing on a Budget is primarily for people who are just starting out and want to know how to take that initial step into the world of road racing. "Paul Slavonik's new ebook 'The Guide To Road Racing On A Budget' has many virtues, not least of which is that it clarifies some of the confusion about getting into road racing. Slavonik is impressively clear on the costs of getting started in racing. His approach is sensible, but he doesn't sugar coat the fact that racing isn't free...The style delivers an impressive mix of conversational readability with needed facts and figures. It is good enough that you'll probably get to the last page and want more. And, at $2.99, only the most penurious or curmudgeonly will miss the fact that there is very good value for money here." -Winding Road Racing
Download or read book You Suck at Racing written by Ian Korf and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lot of books on driving are written by professional racers who assume you too want to be a professional racer. Not this book. It's written by a hobbyist who suggests you keep your day job. Besides, it's much more fun being an enthusiastic amateur than a jaded professional (just ask someone in the sex industry). This book is designed to help the average driver make the transition from commuter to safe road racer in as few pages as possible. I wrote this book because it's what I would have wanted to read when I first became interested in track driving: succinct, nerdy, practical, and occasionally diverting. It is not intended as a definitive tome or a work of art. It's more like a sandwich: convenient and nourishing.

Download or read book Navigating International Academia written by Jill Brown and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These narratives recount what it means to be a research student at an Australian university. They unpack the complex pathways that have lead the authors to this place, the early imaginings, the attempts to achieve the dream and the challenges that come with that achievement. These students bring a range of life skills and experiences to their studies and need to balance competing financial, family and employment related demands on their time and attention. For the international students whose voices dominate this text, there are also barriers of culture, language and physical and emotional dislocation. Students from Vietnam, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Iraq and Romania recount the personal and academic challenges they have faced and the ways in which they have struggled to find a way of being in academia which both accommodates their sense of self and allows them to be recognised as researchers in the international arena. An Australian student adds her voice to the collection. Their stories all combine the intensely personal with the academic. There is the joy of finding libraries full of books, of making friends with strangers, of managing to be student, partner and parent. There is pride in the achievement of children coping with school and gratitude for the support of family and fellow students. There is also developing confidence in their ability to contribute to research in the international arena and increasing authority in the ownership of their research. As a collection these narratives offer insight into both the student travellers and the academic and personal journeys being taken.
