What would you guys recommend for a good read on high performance driving techniques? I've done about eight HPDE's and looking to hone my skills.
Thanks in advance! Jon |

Paul Frere's Sports Car and High Performance Driving
Henry Watts' Secrets of Solo Racing Bob Bondurant Bob Bondurant on High Performance Driving And the two above, Skip Barber and Vic Elford. Many people also recommend Twist of the Wrist, it's a motorcycle book, but MANY people have said that it's very educational for us 4 wheel driving fiends too. Also, Carroll Smith's Drive to Win has been recommended severaly times. I haven't yet read the last two, but I've read the other's several time each. Each time I read them I get another little detail that I missed the previous time.
