An Excellent Driver Coaching Resource - Lateral-g Forums

For the last 8 years, at Ron Sutton's Winner's Circle, we had a very comprehensive Driver Development program working with young drivers focused on NASCAR careers.

I was fortunate enough to have guidance on what to focus the training on from key people in top Cup teams . We had 29 training classes with highly talented & experienced instructors from all walks of driving, technical, media, business & personal skills. Plus, we had a very diverse team of Driver Coaches, of which I was just one of the 12.

At the top of that Driver Coaching pyramid was a top notch trainer ... Ross Bentley. He wrote the Speed Secrets series of driver education books & coached top drivers in IndyCar, GT, IMSA & Rolex racing. He & I became friends through the years of him training our young star drivers on his amazing driving tools & driver brain strategies.

Ross Bentley has a new website, in which he offers driver coaching advice & I wanted to share it with those of you that want to work on improving your driving, in addition to working on your car.

You can check it out HERE.

Best wishes !

Ron, I think you should put together a Auto X class in Northern California! I'll tell you right now, I would pay good money for some quality instruction as long as there's plenty of track time

Yeah Ron...

Something to consider "down the road". We'd need to include Mike Maier as a Coach, if he's willing to give up any secrets.

Looks like we're neighbors Ron. Where in Folsom are you?

I'm in El Dorado Hills. I've got some locals I think you'd like to meet. Especilly if your interested in coaching.

I appreciate that. Currently I am taking a break from my last racing operation ... enjoying time with my family ... and planning a 57 Street Warrior project.

Let's plan to connect some time.
