Free Instructor eBook

Ross_Bentley · 01-01-2014, 05:32 PM

Just wanted everyone to know that I've written an eBook that I'm giving away for free. It's all about instructing, and I want those of you who instruct - or are thinking about instructing - to know that it's available.

You can download it for free at http://hpde-instructor-tips.com.

I'm giving it away for free for two reasons:
1. I appreciate what instructors do for our sport. They're the ones who make a difference with the new people coming into our sport - they can make the difference between these new people coming back for more, or going to play golf! So, giving it away is my way of saying thanks.
2. By making it free, there's no reason for someone not to read it. And there are many instructors out there that want or need help. I'd like to help them.

The only thing I'm asking is that people don't share the copy that they downloaded - I want each individual to download their own copy. One thing I regret about my Speed Secrets books is that I don't know who has them. I have no way of knowing who my readers are, so I can't ask for feedback, and I can't encourage the community to share and grow. That's why I'm asking individuals to download their own copy - perhaps at some point in the future I'll be able to update it based on the feedback I get from those who downloaded it.

If you know of anyone who might be interested in the eBook, please let them know.

Thanks. Have fun!

- Ross

I'm years away from instructing, but I'll be downloading all the same to gain new perspective.

I'm a big fan of the Speed Secrets series as well!

Thanks! I'm not an instructor but found out about your books thanks to your post. Just ordered on Amazon.

Yes, thanks, you can get them from Amazon.

Ironically, I ordered Ultimate Speed Secrets yesterday, hardback & eBook/Kindle via Amazon.com. I really enjoy your writing style.

Even the instructors eBook is good for students. I could relate to my first HPDE and my instructor kept telling me that my line was wrong for a medium speed right left section of back to back corners. I kept altering my line and each time he would say it was wrong. If he had only drew me a picture of the line between sessions I would have totally got it.

That sucks. Pretty much all he did was tell you to figure it out and just told you if it was right or wrong.

pkimM3r · 01-02-2014, 12:11 AM

Ah this is the book everyone says is a must have. Must buy an ebook now.

Yeah it was pretty lame in retrospect.

If you buy the Hardback on AMZN first you can then turn around and buy the ebook for $3.99 right afterwards. Now I have the hardback and the ebook on my iPad. Best of both worlds.

I signed up and did not receive the email on how to download it. Has anyone else run into the same issue?

CBS · 01-02-2014, 09:19 PM

Having read Speed Secrets - Professional Race Driving Techniques and looking to someday Instruct, I am very interested in your HPDE Instructor Tips Book.

Ross, thank you very much for your contribution to the sport and your insight.

This happens to me too. Tried to repeat it and it told me I had already registered.
