Ditto. This whole aftermarket thing we have today is built off of what those guys did. I do remember those day's myself.

I would love a copy too, what do i need to do to get one ?
Bigger is Better/Johnny Sandhu- I know of you through my association with SD Performance as Dave Bisschop has built my engine and the engines of many friends here in the northwest. We on this PY website have seen pics of your most awesome T/A. I have also seen some video of your car doing hillclimbs on a B.C. Canada car club website. Others on this site have commented on how much they dig the stance of your car and how cool it looks. The video of your car is no longer on that website and I, for one would like to see it again. Is it still around ?

And how do you plan to handle the copyright issues? How old does something have to be before it's considered "public domain"?

If this is the chassis engineering book, they are still in print, and readily available new (or used).

Schurkey makes a good point. If this pub is out of print, it's uncool and a copyright violation to just copy this and freely distribute it. This ain't China

Carbking Jon:
If this book is still in print please direct us to where it is for sale as I have looked and I have found nothing.

I respect Herb Adams and I would not want to take away from him in anyway, so with that I retract my offer..

Scarebird is correct about abe, plus there are numerous copies on Ebay on fixed sale.

I haven't seen the book in years. I lost mine in a house fire, but if i remember right. It's about 90 pages and was the book was based on Herb Adams racing Trans Am(Fire Am?). It had alot of mods that the do-it-yourselfer could do. What I mainly liked. it was for the 70-81 cars only. Had front end alignment specs, tire offsets, frame mods, cage specs, etc.

Hi Silver,

My local car club that hosted that video had to pull that video as it was very popular (we got hits from all over the place).

There is some footage from a smaller hillclimb and an auto cross but both are a few years old (they might not be working either)

http://www.vcmc.ca/videos/ioco-johnny.mpg
http://www.vcmc.ca/videos/johnny_BBA.mpg

(you have link from here)

I have some good footage from last years event that I have to make into a dig file then figure out it we want to post it (or where).

Hi Shaker I sent you an email, can you let me know who published the book? Maybe I can contact them to see if they want to make a small run of reprints.

Johnny

I might have that vid saved on my comp still, not sure. Have to wait till I get home. I might be able to put it up on my web for a limited time, we'll see if my provider will allow that big of a file. It won't be till after the weekend anyways, have to work on carburation today and tomorrow(Sat) I'm heading to Kelowna. Hopefully catch some hillclimb acction, but have a few stops I need to make.
