- 80VarietyScott FoundasVarietyScott FoundasAn often thrilling, always compelling intro to the sport.
- 70L.A. WeeklyRon StringerL.A. WeeklyRon StringerAn awesome introduction to the sport and the outspoken personalities -- riders, mechanics, engineers, lorry drivers, commentators, fans and girlfriends -- who support it.

- 50Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovAustin ChronicleMarc SavlovThe straight dope for speed junkies and fans of the art of flinging one’s well-padded frame through the contortions enabled only by disastrously catapulting oneself off a slippery asphalt track at speeds even Dale Earnhardt would have dismissed as lunacy.
