Maybe she can read it to you.

heres a few things i didnt even consider before that this book taught me so far.

*accelerating, can cause understeer because of the weight transfer
*proper execution of heel/toe
*bunches of "mind set" and "focus" sorts of things. heck its awsome the book has self coaching questions.
*training your senses
*really just given me more perspective on all aspects of car control.

really too many things to list these books are just my first then ill check out inner speed secrets, and any more recomended books after that. I want to read up as much as I can I already have noticed improvement in my street driving with the books info so far. how is everyone success with reading and driving improvement.
Once you're done with nr.2. Please feel free to start a new thread about the book and give us your thoughts

finished speed secrets 1, good book informative , as im a novice I learned what i would consider alot, also it firmed up alot of what i learned on the track last year, I think its a really good book for beginner to intermediate drivers. I cant imagine its a bad book for anyone to read even experts. My street driving has improved because of it, I havent yet had a chance back on a track yet.
