Yeah, I have Race Car Vehicle Dynamics, which is the book I assume you are referring to and it is indeed very technical. A strong engineering or math background is definitely required to fully comprehend it.
However all of Carroll smiths books really just descibe and show with pictures what is going on and if you are into real racecars or prepping an autoX care, his books are very applicable.
