Not the greatest
This book seems to be a little outdated. I've read a number of racing instructional books in the past couple of years, and this book doesn't go into near enough detail. However, Mr. Johnson does go into some areas that others do not, like how expensive racing is!It was quick reading but I only recommend it to someone who is "contemplating" entering racing - not for the present racer.

Implement these technics and it will speed your learning !
I was refered to this book by an ex.IMSA GTU racer as a starting point. After studying the basics for months I was able to qualify an arrive and drive two seconds off the pole and had never drivin at speed before and at SEARS POINT !!While this is not indicative of most,I believe the FUNDEMENTALS of this book are necessary!For six years I have competed in many classes and endurance races.It all comes back to the same basics.Next book that is really great is "Thinking To Win " which hits the mark on competition thought,prep,feeling and application. If your just starting or just interested in roadracing this is the 1st book that gives you what you really want to know.

Excellent, timeless advice!
Johnson's method for analyzing a race course is unique and excellent! Several years ago I was a crew chief on a race car. I used his method to analyze some changes that had been made at one of our tracks. While everyone else was struggling to figure out the right line, we set a lap record, qualified on the pole and led the race from start to finish. That chapter alone is worth the (miniscule) price of the book. His advice on driving techniques is just as relevant. Every racer owes it to himself to read this book, and every fan will gain a much better understanding of what really goes on out there.
