New RC Book – ‘Empty: Competitive Racing Through the Practice of Emptiness’

RC related books are far & few between, Ryan Maker’s Speed Secrets and JQ’s Invisible Speeds books the only two that come to mind, but American racer turned author Arthur Scrimo has added to the library with the release of this RC related book called, ‘Empty: Competitive Racing Through the Practice of Emptiness’.  After more than 20 years of competitive RC racing, Scrimo has written this book that explores a side of our hobby that rarely gets discussed, the mental game.  Rather than focusing on setup sheets or driving techniques, the book examines how mindfulness and the Buddhist practice of emptiness can help racers overcome frustration, manage expectations, stay present, and ultimately enjoy racing at a deeper level while still competing at a high level.  The book, which is available in both Kindle format and Paperback, targets racers of all skill levels, using real track experiences to illustrate how mindset significantly impacts performance.
