Yes, it supposedly sums up his teachings / words from Series 1-6.

From the preface of his book, Mr. Ross Bentley says:

"I've attempted to combine my books in a way that would be most efficient for drivers and readers."

I had initially purchased the original (Series 1) Speed Secrets very recently... But then I found out about this combined and updated version which my very own HPDE organization was actually recommending... Therefore, I just exchanged it out at my bookstore (actually had to order this one... None of the stores around my area kept it in stock). :)

You MUST. No telling how many times I'll go over this book... Good thing it's a hardcover (don't know if all of them come this way). :thumbsup:

Yes sir, very easy to read. You can prob knock it off in around 2-3 days if not earlier and it really helps you learn. Since its so easy to navigate its easy to refer to a specific question you might have. :thumbup:

Good to know... My slow brain is still trying to process this current book while I try to let the knowledge sink in, hehe.

*** Damn, I should've taught / introduced myself to left foot braking at an early age (karting)... Now I'm not going to be a champion race car driver! :cry: :bellyroll:
