Following the
success of his first book, Drag
Racing 101, where IH Racing’s Team Owner Ike Heckler Jr. explains how to
build your first race car and secure sponsorship, Ike now brings you Drag
Racing 201 – Racing in the New Economy.
Besides showing
how Ike raced and survived in 2010 with the help of his great friends and
sponsors, Drag Racing 201 looks into the future of the sport and projects how it
may look a few years from now and gives the reader some valuable tips on how to
afford racing a full season and how the racer may have to live differently in
order to race and live their dream. Ike also gives the reader some valuable
sponsorship tips along the way that will help with sponsor exposure and could
make securing sponsorships a little easier. So get in your race car, strap in,
and hold on because you are about to experience what it feels like to be “Racing
in the New Economy” !!
This 80 page full color book has over 75 pictures
highlighting the West Palm FL, Charlotte NC, and the Bristol TN Pinks All Out
events (and getting on SPEED TV), the Atlanta, NHRA Unleashed event, and
what it feels like to work for an NHRA national event.
If your goal is to drag race in the New Economy, this book is a must read that
will save you money and increase your sponsor exposure !!
As a professional sportsman racer, I rarely see an author capture
what it truly means to deal with racing and sponsors from a racers
perspective. Ike Heckler Jr. impressed me with his first book, Drag
Racing 101, but he really hit the nail on the head with Drag Racing 201.
He really knows what it takes to be successful in today's economy. A
must read for any aspiring racer!
