How to Build Motorcycle-engined Racing Cars (Speedpro)
If you are aspiring to build a racing car this could be the book that you've been waiting for! Tony Pashley revisits the path that he took in the Pashley Project articles in Race Tech magazine during the design and construction of two successful hillclimb cars. This time in great detail with a view to enabling the reader to carryout a similar exercise for themselves. Although hillclimb and sprint cars are the focal topic, a lot of the book is applicable to race cars in general. The cars under discussion in the book are powered by motor cycle engines which, in the smaller racing car classes are meeting with great success. The total process of building a car is described beginning with the selection and procurement of the engine. Chassis and suspension design is covered in a simplistic but adequate manner as the author's aim is to minimise the inclusion of involved calculations. Two recipes for chassis construction are illustrated in detail along with guidance on the processes of construction and a description of the required equipment. Following on from this the fabrication of the suspension is explained. Further chapters are dedicated to the remaining aspects of the vehicle covering; transmission, brakes, fuel and coolant systems and electrics. The book is heavily illustrated with 200 photographs and extensive explanatory diagrams and tables. This book is a vital addition to any would be kit car builders library. .

States
About her debut collection of short stories, esteemed writers have these observations: "The world in Jennifer Pashley's stories is wicked and seriously out-of-whack, remarkable and delicious-you never know who you're going to run into. Pashley writes quick, tough dialog that cuts hard and scars, and her stories put you in places and circumstances you have little chance of getting to otherwise. She asks you to pay attention and use your imagination, and then treats you to the real pleasures of fiction, of character, of remarkable people in difficult times. Her work always stuns." - Frederick Barthelme "Jennifer Pashley's 'States' imagines human desire in all its heart-breaking complexity: the mysteries, disguises, aggressions, disappointments, ecstasies. The contemporary narrators of these stories - men and women mostly in their 20s and 30s - are disturbed and disturbing, smart but rarely knowing. They are, as one puts it, 'unraveling with desire.' States is a riveting, accomplished, and immensely satisfying first collection." - David Lloyd, author of Boys, Stories and a Novella "Precise. Blunt. Funny. Scary. Bleak. An inviting and well-carved debut." - Aimee Bender.
