Well I believe Kelly wrote the book with WJ and Phil did a story on it in his Insider column. If she wrote it I don't think she can review it, but hell, I could be all wrong! Either way, should be a good read.

Great read! Kelly did an outstanding writing job. You can also get your book signed by WJ by sending it to them with return PP envelope

Bob, Kelly didnt write her own review

What gets me is Warren Johnson talked all smack when Greg Anderson called him out that he had more H.P. than all of the participating teams in P/S. And also, He claimed that he still had the P/S cars to put the power into. With his fame, and success, he could have a few sponsors to prove his point. But No.....

What makes you think this? If he could "have a few sponsors" he would probably still be out there. Sponsors are not easy to get, they are harder to keep.

Sure, Landing a major sponsor for the whole ride is difficult but, Take Jim Dunn for instance, he has many different sponsors during the course of the season. Justin Ashley is a perfect example of adding a ton of associate sponsors to offset the cost of running is operation.
