Product Description
"Think to Win" teaches you how to analyze your driving, pinpoint specific problem areas and remove the obstacles that keep you from winning. Author and Circle Track Magazine editor Don Alexander helps you develop powerful mental skills like visualization, anticipation, concentration, and setting priorities. These skills add speed and drop lap times, but can be difficult to master without the right guidance. "Think to Win" brings new insight to basic but demanding driving activities like accelerating, turning, and braking. Learn how to manage weight transfer, save tenths of seconds in qualifying, take segment times in a corner to identify and correct mistakes, even how to communicate with your crew to fix handling problems. No matter whether you're racing on paved oval tracks, dirt tracks, speedways, or road courses, "Think to Win" will help you to become a faster, winning driver. And if you're a race fan, "Think to Win" will give you a whole new perspective on what it's like to drive a Winston Cup car. As Nascar driver Mark Martin puts it, "Don helps you understand the challenges we face out there so you can answer your friend when he turns to you and says, 'Man, why doesn't he just pass that guy?'

 The worst racing instruction book I have read December 22, 2005
I have read over a dozen instructional books on racing, and this is easily the worst. It doesn't ever get specific enough about the lessons it tries to teach, and even though I was familiar with every subject it covered, I was still confused by some of their descriptions. I believe an experienced and educated racer will find this book too elementary, and the beginning racer won't understand that they aren't being taught the whole lesson, and their driving will suffer. Start with Watts' "Secrets of Solo Racing", which has very relevant and helpful diagrams (unlike this book) and go from there. You will be a better driver for it.

This is an excellent book for a new and an experienced race driver.
It is packed full of necessary instructions and advice that any race driver needs if he/she wants to succeed. I have read it twice so far and will read it again just before our race season starts. If you could only read one book on racing, this would definitely be it.
Good racing book. October 27, 1999

I found "Think to Win" to be a great help in identifying and understanding areas of my racing that I didn't even know existed! I am positive that I am a better driver than I was before I read it. In fact, I read it every year before the season starts!
