 | ENGAGING BOOK FOR 9-12 YEAR OLDS Jun 22, 2008 |
| This product is now in paperback and is a fairly easy read to get a young person engaged in a book, even if they don't like reading that much. It looks small and has lots of great photos, so it is easy to get a child to pick it up and get it read. Nice especially for spring break before the Indy 500 race in May, but since those cars race much of the year all over the world, it's a great read for anytime. | | |  | For the Young Reader May 15, 2008 |
| I expected a hardcover book to have a little more depth to it. This is recommended reading for a novice racing fan or young kid. I was hoping it would have more depth and detail than it did. If you want a substantive account, this would be best left for a younger reader. | | | | Fascinating Book! Feb 27, 2005 |
| I never dreamed how caught up in racing I would become when I picked up Nancy's book! It was so fascinating. It's full of interesting facts that kids (and adults) will love. Nancy brought the world of racing into my world--I couldn't put it down. I kept saying, "no way!" The pictures are incredible, too. This book is one your children will want to keep and read over and over! There's just so much to absorb! | | | | An engaging introduction to the fast-paced auto racing world Sep 13, 2004 |
Indy 500: The Inside Track by Indy 500 by Nancy Roe Pimm includes photography from The Indianapolis Motor Speedway enhancing a text specifically written to engage the interest of young readers ages 9 through 12. An information-packed guideline that teaches young readers about the basic history of the Indianapolis 500 car races, the demands placed upon race car drivers, the mechanical improvements that have made race cars safer and speedier, the meanings of the various flags, and much more, Indy 500 is as fascinating and educational for adults as it is for young people. The no-nonsense narration does not talk down to the reader, and the splendid full-color photographs highlight this engaging introduction to the fast-paced auto racing world.
| | | | True Grit -the inside track, well done ! Aug 29, 2004 |
| I purchased this book as a gift for my son (racing enthusiast). I must admit that I also read the book and found it quite rewarding. The author promotes a real first hand look at the annual race (she is married to a former Indy driver) with interesting notes and lots of Indy specific facts. Also, worth noting the book is current with photos of 2004 Rahal/Letterman, Indy champ Mr.Buddy Rice. Put down the video game controller and read a good book ! | | | Write your own review about Indy 500: The Inside Track
