3.3.3 deals with both Racetrack and Reversal procedures. Your quote is dealing purely with racetrack procedures. Next you will be telling us that a racetrack must be entered from +/- 30 deg of the outbound track (also found in that part you are quoting from).!
Nonsense. It's perfectly clear.

3.3.3 is Flight Procedures for Racetrack and Reversal Procedures

3.3.3.1 Entry. Unless the procedure specifies particular entry restrictions, reversal procedures shall be entered from a track within +/- 30 deg of the outbound track of the reversal procedure. However, for base turns, where the +/- 30 deg direct entry sector does not include the reciprocal of the inbound track, the entry sector is expanded to include it. For racetrack procedures, entry shall be as 3.3.2.2, unless other restrictions are specified. See Figures III-3-3, III-3-4 and ID-3-5.

(My italics)

3.3.3.2 Speed Restrictions, 3.3.3.3 Bank Angle, 3.3.3.4 Descent clearly all apply to both racetrack and reversals.

3.3.3.5 is entitled Outbound timing - racetrack procedure and is therefore designed to apply only to racetrack procedures.

3.3.3.6 is Wind Effect and clearly applies to both racetrack and reversals.
