"Strap on your goggles and your camelback water bag! It's time for a breathtaking glimpse inside the adrenaline -fueled world of off-road racing amid the dusty mesquite- and pecan-dotted pastures around Central Texas.This slim but absorbing journal chronicles each adventure-filled race in the 2019 Texas Off Road Championship season straight from the uber-detailed journal of standout writer and author Mike Kowis -- accompanied on many of the races by his teenaged son, Cash.We'll give you a few very good reasons as to why you should put this book on your own summer reading list --1. It's a virtual ""how to"" on the strategies and tactics needed to win one of these unique events.2. It's cinematic in delivery and description, making you choke on every dust cloud raised by the racer just in front of you. In our opinion it would make a great movie.3. It's heart-warming in the extreme, as Kowis describes the special bond that develops between father and son during the 2019 racing season.We award Texas Off Road Racing: A Father-Son Journey to a Side-by-Side Championship a full five stars for its colorful descriptive abilities as well as its ability to deliver a riveting read, worthy of any Top Ten event-based memoir we've ever reviewed. - Don Sloan, Reviewer for Publishers Daily Reviews"
