I can't find my staniforth book anywhere! Put it away for safe keeping and can't remember where that was... Frustrating

Stanniforths other book, Race and Rally Car Data source book is similar and might be better for the DIY builder, as he goes into the same depth of theory, but with a bit more on material and fastener specs, and some racer studies, development and problem solving too, but either would be very worthwhile books.
Theres also the Fred Puhn book which is OK but a bit outdated now (although the basics dont change) and has a lot of 'Yank-Tank' stuff in it.
Milliken & Milliken is 'the' book, but its hard going, over my head to be honest, you need a decent engineering leaning although great if you cant sleep...
