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).

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.

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!

Already have two girls (1 & 4)... Maybe have them compete to be the next Danica Patrick?

Heck, I ain't being no manager... I like planting my tooshy in the driving seat partner! Yeehaw!
