LEGEND IN THE RACING INDUSTRY JOINS THE MCI TOYOTA ATLANTIC TEAM
Precision Preparation Inc. (PPI) has announced that Carroll Smith has joined the MCI Toyota Atlantic Team. Since 1978, Smith has been president of Carroll Smith Consulting Inc. In 1975, he wrote "Prepare to Win," which sold more than 50,000 copies world wide and is generally regarded as the most comprehensive and authoritative book in its field. Smith has authored other professional books including "Tune to Win," a vehicle dynamics book he published in 1978, and his 1984 materials science book entitled "Engineer to Win." In addition, Smith published "Carroll Smith's Nuts, Bolts and Fasteners Handbook," which was the best selling automotive technical book in 1990 and "Drive to Win," which has received several international awards. "I am pleased to have the opportunity to work again with my friends at PPI and especially to be a part of the birth of a new racing team," said Smith, who designed the off-road racing trucks for Toyota and PPI from 1982 to 1985. "I look forward to the challenge of helping PPI become a dominant force in the KOOL/TOYOTA Atlantic Championship."
