it's a pretty darn good read.

Too bad I'm up here in PA missing out on the Autocross that's going on Sunday in Orlando...

Default I have that book. It's pretty informative. I also picked up Speed Secrets 1
"Professional Race Driving Techniques" by Ross Bentley, but I haven't started reading it yet

Default Yea, I picked up "going faster! Mastering the art of race driving" by Skip Barber Racing School
Essentially they were going to be AutoXJunkie's Christmas present, but then i decided to buy a copy for myself.

Couldn't let him learn all the tricks!

Default You just satisfied my "learn something new everyday" philosophy today...
I didn't even know who that was. I thought it was Kris Hanson (since he has that picture in his sig).

However, after doing a bit of googling and reading, I now Know.

Thanks Joel!

Default welcome, Pete :)
it's and honor to have such a legend be so close. Now to sit down and have a couple of drinks with him. That would be amazing.
