Summary: More advanced racecar driving techniques
Comment: This is the second level of "Speed Secrets". Read the first level first to cover the all-important basics on driving. Do not think you know them all, you will be surprised how much there is covered in the first edition. The techniques will help you become a better driver even in daily traffic. It talks about skid pad time for controlling drift along with concepts and graphics on brake points, weight distribution and cornering. You will outrun the cops in a Dodge Neon :-) Did I just say that out loud?

Summary: What a series of books!
Comment: As the author of "Go Ahead - Take the Wheel" which discusses how to begin racing, the Speed Secrets series is what I recommend to people as the next purchase in their racing libary. This book is written in a very friendly manner and does not get too bogged down in very technical discussions that might be challenging for a novice to racing. When looking at the various racing books I own, these always stand out. I guess that's why this is one of only a very few I recommended in the "Additional Resources" section of my book.

Summary: Speed Secrets II: More Professional race driving techniques
Comment: The first few chapters didn't tell you much in the way of coaching you to be better. I think 1/4 into the book, the information is very helpful in isolating and working the different components within a practice session towards driving faster (i.e. work on the entry speed, work on the driving line, work on traction sensing, etc...) I gave it 4 stars, because the book could have deleted the first few chapters.

Summary: The Second Step in Racing Learning
Comment: In the second book of the Speed Secret Series, it goes in racing learning more in depth than the first book, it starts with preparing the racer to be a Complete Race Driver, it shows what racers should have, such as Racing Skills, Physical Skills, Career Skills, Marketing Skills, Mental Skills and Testing Skills.
Also it talks in depth about car preparing and learning new driving techniques and tricks.

All of Speed Secrets Books are well written and easy to be understood by new racers.

I recommend reading the first Speed Secrets Book, then practice the techniques in test days and real races, after the driver understand the book well, he should get the second book to learn more about racing gradually.

Summary: Speed Secrets 2: More Professional Race Driving Techniques
Comment: Another great book in the series. Brings up things one wouldn't necessarily have attended to in the beginning. Good for general driving, too.
