good-old-boy anecdotes but not much about how to drive
26 Nov 2000
Format:Paperback
This book is full of photos of Bob sliding old cars around on the track, and posing with other great old drivers. Some of the anecdotes are real hooters. But it's skinny on the "how to" parts. There's a lot of discussion about setting up your seat and pedals for a comfortable and efficient driving position, but not much about the specifics of choosing a line for this corner, in this car, in this weather, today. Not much about footwork or other aspects of driving technique, not much about car set-up, and nearly nothing about the physics underlying it all. A few glancing blows at topics like contact patches, but disappointingly little.
Skip Barber's "Going Faster" is a better textbook, especially for someone like me, an engineer with an analytical mindset.
If you want a driving textbook, get Barber's. If you want driving stories, get Bondurant's.

Save your money for a pepperoni pizza
30 April 2001
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book because I wanted to learn more about high performance driving without the cost of going to a school, but roughly half of this book is just advertisement of Bob's driving school in Southern California. For example, on controlling skids, he talks very little about how to get out of a skid and then he begins on how you can learn more if you come to his driving school because the school has such and such equipments. There's even an entire chapter dedicated to how to graduate from his driving school. He also seems to be obssessed with his past glory, which he doesn't mind spending time to talk about. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE.

Stories about the good old days.
31 Aug 2001
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you want to read some poorly organized stories about Bob's
good old racing days, this might be the book for you. If you
want to learn to drive quickly, this book will disappoint you.
