Over time, I captured more of my thoughts and what I had learned, simply to help myself as a driver. Eventually, all of this morphed into my first book,\u00a0<em>Speed Secrets<\/em>. Since that time I\u2019ve written 8 more books, and for some reason they\u2019ve become\u00a0the most-read series of <strong>driving books<\/strong> ever (which has certainly been a pleasant surprise!).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Writing is something that I really enjoy doing because I get to share what I\u2019ve learned with others.\u00a0The feedback I\u2019ve received through the years \u2013 that I\u2019ve been able to explain complex and critical information in a way that most can understand \u2013 has inspired me to continue to write. It\u2019s fun thinking about what I\u2019ve learned through driving all sorts of cars and from coaching thousands of drivers, then figuring out how to present it in a way that you can use.
