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! 2. So, giving it away is my way of saying thanks. 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!

Thanks! And if you want to know someone who has all your books, you are looking at him. Started buying them as gifts this year too as I have some friends who are getting more in to racing and track days and I'm not giving up my copies of your books.

Before I go putting my name and email in where to get a copy where is this information going and what is it going to be used for? In other words are you going to sell the email list this will generate later?

In reply to dean1484: Absolutely not, Dean (not sure I'd even know how to do that!!). No, it's for me so I can connect with readers in the future and see if there's feedback, if there are other things I can provide, etc. So, your contact info is staying in my hands (or laptop).

In reply to HeavyDuty: Thanks for buying my books. It's people like you that I write for (okay, and to fill in the time while flying 72 flights a year!). :)

In reply to Ross_Bentley:

I know this book is about instructing, but where do you think this fits into your other book series? We have two of your books (which I can't recall the name here at work), and it would be interesting if you think this book is more stand alone or fits within what you have written before.

Anyway, thanks! It's been a while since we've read your books!

Excellent!!!!! Sorry if I sounded like a jerk but I had to ask.
