Customer Review: Well put together book ,nothing new
I had bought this book in hopes that it would provide information that wasn't readily available in every other racing instruction book. This book is well laid out, with information provided just as a thorough and qualified instructor would give you. If you are truly a professional driver looking for those gems of information to help you get to the top, you won't find it here either. The nutrition section is all right, it provides some information, but I feel you really would need another book on sports nutrition to create a worthwhile plan for yourself. Sections on resources are painfully short; Sponsor information is general and nothing but common sense, the formula for working with your team isn't always practical and once again general. Once again a wonderful book for beginners or regional drivers looking to feel more professional.
Customer Review: The Successful Racecar Driver
Altho' not even an aspiring racecar driver, I read Metcalf's book, so I am approaching it with a "street car" mentality. With the first page of this book, he piqued my interest with his innovative approach to a disclaimer. His approach to racing is experienced, educated, informative and, as as added bonus, entertaining, with an understanding of to whom he is speaking -- you as the reader -- and you as a driver. It IS a very technical book on the art of race car driving. However, even readers like me can glean both an understanding of the race track with all its finer points, and some helpful hints on driving busy or clogged interstates, deduced from his knowlegable and insightive writing. I understand he has a novel in the works.
