American driver Joachim Bruneau, racing for Serpent in 1/8 on-road nitro, has released “Dialed In: 1:8 Onroad Racing Book”, a practical guide focused on setup and race craft on the circuit.

A 3-step method to find speed

Winner of the 50th Florida WinterNats in 2026, Bruneau lays out a structured three-step method to find and keep pace in 1/8 nitro on-road racing: clutch, engine and exhaust, shocks, body and tires. Each setup chapter comes with the driving feel associated with every adjustment, plus practical fixes for the most common setup issues.

A practical guide, not a setup bible

Described by its author as “a Practical Guide to getting, and staying, fast,” “Dialed In” is aimed at amateur 1/8 on-road racers rather than an exhaustive technical manual. It is available in paperback on Amazon.
