Racing Books and Videos
Racing books and videos give racers, builders, mechanics, and motorsports fans a practical way to learn more about performance, repair, setup, restoration, and racing history. Choose a technical reference when you need help with a specific job, or a biography or story-driven book when you want to know more about people and history behind the sport. Behrent’s carries racing books, videos, guides, and diagrams covering engine maintenance and performance, ignition, wiring, tire setup, repair, restoration, and motorsports stories. You’ll find motorsports resources for everything from engine swaps and valve train work to asphalt tire setup, high-performance ignitions, and classic race car projects. These references can work just as well in the shop as they do at home. Keep a setup book or wiring guide close by for trackside reference, use a repair manual for a hands-on project, or dig into an auto racing book or video when you want to expand your knowledge beyond the next repair.
