Ideas Worth Sharing: • “A great instructor knows when to stop telling and start drawing it out. And sometimes it's not saying anything at all.” - Ross Bentley • “Whenever an instructor tells you to do something or encourages you to do something, or even asks you a question to get you to do something, don't be afraid to say ‘why?’ Because the second you understand why, you can apply that to everything.” - Ross Bentley • “Not asking enough questions early in my career—and not taking advantage of other people's knowledge—was the most expensive lesson I've learned.” - Ross Bentley Resources: • Ross Bentley: Website (https://speedsecrets.com/) | Facebook (  / drivercoach  ) | Instagram (  / rossbentley  ) | YouTube (   / @speedsecrets1  ) • Books by Ross Bentley (https://speedsecrets.com/books/) • It’s Not the Car Podcast (https://itsnotthecar.com/en-aud) • The Technique of Motor Racing (Driving) (https://www.amazon.com/dp/0837602289/...) by Piero Taruffi • Willow Springs Raceway (https://www.willowspringsraceway.com/) • Sports Car Club of British Columbia (https://www.sccbc.net/) • INDYCAR (https://www.indycar.com/) • IMSA (International Motor Sports Association) (https://www.imsa.com/) • TransAm (https://gotransam.com/) • Burt Brothers Motorpark (https://www.utahmotorsportscampus.com/) • Phoenix Raceway (https://www.phoenixraceway.com/) • Trac-Com (https://competitionmotorsport.com/pro...)
