Ok, I'm bored to tears with winter and can't wait to get out and drive my car!

While I'm staring out at the bleak, miserable, cold weather I thought I'd do some reading on autocross driving technique just to keep the blood pressure from dropping through the floor.

Any recommendations?

Man I hate February!

My favorite that I have actually read is Secrets of Solo Racing by Henry Watts (1989). The first one that I read was Winning Autocross Solo II Competition by Richard H. Turner and J. B. Miles (1977). I think I recently saw an ad for a more recently published autocross book, but I don't remember the details.

I've got the Watts book coming. Is the second book really worth $76?

Thanks for the suggestions.

Buy some cones, find a deserted parking lot early in the morning, and go have fun.

Here's a 300' square layout. Three laps; first a peanut, then a figure X, then a perimeter.

Many of the cones can be eliminated if you are just out having fun.

Turner & Miles (1977) for $76? Must be an antique now. Mine was $10 several decades ago. Don't bother with it then. Watts is better anyway.

The Turner book is a classic ....have you read the info at the PCA website?

+1 on the Watts book, plus "Speed Secrets", R. Bentley - is pretty good (for auto-x and more)...
