This story gives you insight into the complexities of the sport technically, physically, and mentally and highlights the extreme danger faced by riders of the era when classic high-speed circuits were still in use in Europe and rider safety was a low priority at most International and Grand Prix venues. Ballington Unkorked is the story of a South African boy who fell in love with motorcycle racing after watching international stars at his home town circuit. His pure passion drove him onwards and upwards as he began living out his dream. A chance trip to Europe to take part in the big time triggered a phase inc which, against the odds, guts and perseverance took him to the very pinnacle of success, World Champion Road Racer.
Founded in 1993 CarTech, Inc has become one of the leading publishers of how-to automotive titles for the hardcore enthusiast. In 1995 CarTech purchased the S-A Design line of book from Larry Schreib and Larry Atherton who had published their first book in 1976 titled, The Chevrolet Racing Engine, by Bill Grumpy Jenkins. This single title gained wide recognition as “the bible” of high performance engine design and assembly.
CarTech has continued to expand on this tradition and now has over 300 titles available for the enthusiast, in a wide variety of formats – from print to digital to video. Today, our publishing efforts include our traditional performance “S-A Design” titles along with race histories, biographies of industry icons; in addition to a number series that further assist readers with their projects.
