AutoTrackDay Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Auto TrackDay Monthly's upcoming June issue is running a story on vintage racer and writer Burt Levy who says, “I went to see a vintage race to do a story for Auto Week about it and I just fell in love. I mean here were all the cars I grew up lusting after. And it’s not just the doing it. It’s the people and the liturgy if you will – you know of being on the inside where you know the people and you know the cars and you know the stories and the wild characters you run into at racing. Racing is full of some great people. It’s just so much more vivid than everyday life. When you’re on a race weekend, it’s like being on a mission. You know what you’re trying to accomplish. It’s very goal oriented. And then you go back to what I call the mindless slop of everyday life. And you can’t wait to get back to the track.” While you're waiting to read more about Burt Levy in June, if you haven't already, read some of our current articles on brake upgrades, track insurance, track cars, getting started and how-to’s.

AutoTrackDay Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 This is a free resource for HPDE enthusiasts. We are trying to grow our reader base and let the HPDE community know we exist. We have been very well received and appreciated on other forums other than those monetized by such companies as AutoGuide.com. We hope that our magazine will benefit the Team Shelby forum readers. I just checked Google Analytics for our site and there have been 24 visits from your forum members with only a 29% bounce rate, which is a very low rate.

DubbsFaris Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 If there is valuable information for those of us that track our cars, then thanks for the heads up! If not, it doesn't really matter if this guy is just pushing his own site. That will take care of itself. I will say this- your site is completely ipad unfriendly. To the point I can barely use it. Fire your web page designer. iPads are used more than 1/3 of all web surfing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AutoTrackDay Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Ross Bentley has been very generous with his time and support. He has participated in an interview for two articles and is contributing to our series on driving techniques. Ross has been getting the word out about our magazine and our content and we wanted to get the word out about his upcoming webinar, Inner Speed Secrets. This is a new format for him and it is launching next week on the 14th. The deadline to register is on October 10, 2014, this Friday. We feel this will be a real opportunity for our readers to improve their driving skills and we urge you to sign up. We will be in on the call ourselves!Read our article about Inner Speed Secrets at:http://www.autotrackdaymonthly.com/index.php/articles-general/features/trackcar-technologyHere is what Ross has to say about the webinar:"The most effective training I've ever done for performance and race drivers is my Inner Speed Secrets program. But previously, I've only delivered it in person which made it unavailable to many drivers. So now I'm doing a webinar version of it. Drivers know the mental game is critical, and yet they rarely have an opportunity to develop that part of their driving performance. Now they do. I'll be doing an Inner Speed Secrets webinar spread over 4 evenings, October 14, 15, 21 and 22, from 8:30-10:00pm Eastern/5:30-7:00pm Pacific - a total of 6 hours of training. Registration is limited - and closes on October 10th. Go tohttp://inner-speed-secrets.com/ right now to reserve your spot.
