PS: Not a new problem. Discussed in my 1987 article:

GREAT article. Considering it was written 24 years ago it appears there has not been much accomplished relative to training for the high speed low pass. The more I read the more I understand how really complicated this sport can be and how little I know. The books you mentioned should be part of every pilots glider library.
