123. Machinery's Handbook. Industrial Press, Inc. THE bible of how to machine parts,
and much much more!
124. Clutch & Flywheel Handbook by Tom Monroe. Out of print, but worth the effort to
locate a copy.
125. The High-Speed Internal-Combustion Engine by Sir Harry R. Ricardo. THE bible
of I.C. First published back in 1923. Still relevant today. If you are just starting down
the road to I.C. understanding, this is a good place to start.
126. SAE Handbook. Any late model set is going to be handy at times. I particularly
enjoy looking through the really old ones from the '30s, '40s, & '50s. (Not really
relevant to building a competetive FSAE car today, but remember, the more you
understand automotive history, the less likely you will be to make the same mistakes
some other engineer made already... back in the early 20th century, or even earlier!
127. The Unfair Advantage by Mark Donohue with Paul Van Valkenburgh. Mark's
autobiography. Written from the perspective of two fine engineers. This is the first
example (that I know of) of a racer that used skid pad testing on all his race cars prior to
track testing, in order to sort out spring rates and anti-roll bar rates for best
oversteer/understeer characteristics. Lots of good stuff in here about Roger Penske's
early racing career as well. It is THE unfair advantage(s) that you build into your own

race car that will set you apart from the rest of the pack, and ultimately lead you to the
winner's circle!
