Review

WE SPEND ALL THIS MONEY ON IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE OF OUR CAR AND FORGET ABOUT THE MOST INTEGRAL PART OF THE PACKAGE, THE DRIVER. THIS BOOK ADDRESSES THAT ISSUE FROM A VERY UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE. THE OTHER BOOKS IN THIS SERIES DEAL WITH DRIVING TECHNIQUES. THIS BOOK IS ABOUT THE MIND GAME INVOLVED WITH GOING FASTER. I FOUND IT VERY INSIGHTFUL. THE TECHNIQUES USED IN THIS BOOK ARE BENEFICIAL NOT ONLY TO DRIVING, BUT TO EXCELLING IN ONE'S DAY TO DAY LIFE! A QUICK READ WITH A LOT OF POSITVE BENEFITS! (S Wolfe)In the olympics, studies have shown that those who practice mentally (visualization, psychology, self-talk, etc) as well as physically (actual physical training) do better than those who just grind it out on the training field. In a sport where there is a fusion of man and machine, it is even more important to "Maximize Your Racine Performance" by adhering to the strategies such as what Ross Bentley has outlined. If you're a driver who has reached a plataeu and can't seem to improve, there's a great likelihood that it's not more practice or track time that's needed -- but more mental practice. And that's cheaper, too! Ross outlines great mental techniques in this book that are easy to follow, and very applicable to the sport of race car driving. For a bigger picture on Mental Training, I urge to to also look at Ken Baum's The Mental Edge. Then make sure you have this book by Ross to have mental training specific to race car driving. Highly Recommended! (Alfred Racho)Race car drivers can be, and must be continually developed beyond the capabilities of their car. Inner Speed Secrets clearly explains the mental engineering of today's winning drivers. If you are serious about your racing---this book is a must. Don Kitch Jr. Chief Instructor ProFormance Racing School Seattle International Raceway (Don Kitch) --Don Kitch

Chapters include Brain Wave States, Sensory inout, State of Mind, Psychomotor Skills and the Care and Feeding of the Brain. --Race Tech magazine 2008

5.0 out of 5 stars To the point on how to make your mind set for racing, 1 Jul 2001
By ivarsand@start.no (Oslo, Norway) - See all my reviews
The content is meant for racing, but will probably work for anyone wanting to be excelent in their area.

Especially the focus on how your brain works and how you program yourself, was enlightning.

Just after I ordered the book and before I received it, I found that it was not on how to drive a race car, but how to make your mind ("inner") prepared for racing. Felt like a disappointment, but has turned around after I received the book and started reading.
