Default How to racing: book title?

There's a book out there sponsored/written by the SCCA that describes the art of racing Solo I and II. Anyone know the name of it? It's supposedly highly regarded.

I think its called, "The Secrets to Solo Racing". Go to Amazon.com and search that title. I bought the book from them and it was very helpful.

Another great book is the performance driving handbook by Vic Elford. I think that is the title. I don't have it in front of me.

Thanks all - I'll probably take your advice and buy all of them. (I do a lot of reading).

A great series is the "Speed Secrets" by Ross Bently. (Speed Secrets, Inner Speed Secrets, and More Speed Secrets)

When I went to Amazon last night that came up as a "also purchased" and I picked up the first one "Speed Secrets" along with "The Secrets of Solo Racing". Now where am I going to get all the much needed track time?
