I'm not an autocrosser, but I'm curious how Ross Bentley's approaches translate to the autocross world:

I've read it, and it is worthwhile for novice to intermediate drivers. Other than unique Ross stuff common to his other books, there isn't much new for a real experienced autocrosser. That said, it is nice to have a different perspective and review. My main criticism, which is common to some other Ross writings, are all these "speed secrets" topics -- there are too many of them in this book such that their significance seems to get lost on the reader.
