If you have ANYTHING to do with Midget racing you need this book its that simple. I raced for 2 years without this book and then once I got the book, 90% + of my dumb rookie quesions were answered in this book. I wish I got it on day 1. Just consider this book the same as a tool kit or car part its not optional you need it. There is a section at the back with on the track setup change recommendations, like a trouble shooting, If loose on entry try such and such. HOWEVER, most of this book shouldnt be read at the track its not really that kind of book. Read it in the winter when youre rebuilding your car and internalise the info for the season. Its easy and fin to read and super interesting (if youre a driver or mechanic) so reading some every night over the winter is the way to go. All that information about spring rates, setup, etc etc is NOT magic and this book explains it well. Just get this book. Get it now.

Yes if and when I need one
