 I recommend it highly.  It is the opposite of glitzy, which puts 
 the focus where it belongs -- on driving a car in an autocross.
 Like another poster, I rank it above Turner's book and put Bob 
 "then there was the race where I ..." Bondurant at the bottom.  
 His driver's school must be *much* better than the book.

 You wrote that?  Nice.  Your "beginner" page and that FAQ are 
 both fantastic.  What I find interesting is how much it overlaps 
 with two pages I wrote 

         http://www.scri.fsu.edu/~jac/Dixie/first.html
         http://www.scri.fsu.edu/~jac/Dixie/faq.html

 several years ago.  For details, however, nothing can beat the 
 book Kate Hughes wrote on the subject.  IMO that addresses some 
 of the questions about "what should I do next".
