Dear Racer,
A friend of mine sent me an engine building book to read and I
can't believe it. I can't believe people actually buy this stuff,
but what really gets me is the people who write this stuff.
They've probably never built a competitive racing engine in their
entire life or they're some big name engine builder telling you
only a few of his secrets. I can't believe how much fluff is in
these books. They don't tell you anything, except maybe a bunch of
outdated info.
So, tell you what I'm doing right now, I'm putting together every
engine building tip I have. It's not going to be a bunch of fluff,
it's going to be straight to the point. Just the info you really
want. I've been selling the book Secrets of a 740hp Winston Cup
Engine for about 4-months now and the sales have been more than I
expected. So, I'm going take this book and add to it to make a
package of truly useful information.
What makes me qualified to write this?
- 3 Winston Cup
Poles
- 5 Winston Cup
front rows
- 2 Winston Cup
event records
- 1 Winston Cup
track record
- 8+ NHRA national
records
- Over 100 Fast
times at local tracks
Now, I don't display
these to brag. I just wanted you to know that the person writing
this information has built competitive racing engines, not just
talked about it.
If you're reading this, you are probably one of the following
people;
Racer - Even if you don't build engines you can use this information
to help your engine builder take you to the next level. It also
includes info on how-to tune at the track. I'll show you how I track
tuned at Winston Cup races. On the same subject I also include the
Weather Dyno software to help you.
Want to learn engine building - If you want to start building racing
engines, why learn the hard way. I can get you building competitive
racing engines right of the bat. Don't spend years and thousands of
dollars learning what I can teach you over a weekend.
Engine Builder - Ok, I know you are going to be the hardest to
convince. I know that all engine builders have pride, I have pride
too, but remember that we all came out of the womb knowing nothing
about engine building, we had to learn it from someone. I think one
of the hardest things for a person to do is accept the fact that
they don't know everything and that other people can help them
expand their knowledge.
Below is some of the information included in this package:
Thanks, Don Terrill

Why am I sharing these secrets?
So many people are afraid of giving away their secrets. I finally
realized that telling my secrets didn't effect my business one bit.
And I also found out that it drives winston cup engine builders
crazy that I give this information out. (Update 6/28/99) I just got
off the phone with one of them......... and they're not happy.
