The best book by far, in my naive opinion, is "The Racing Driver" by Denis Jenkinson...and yes I've read Going faster, Speed Secrets, Vic Elford, Mark Donahue and others. The Racing Driver is not exactly a how to book...but the astute reader will likely learn here stuff not found elsewhere.
Cheers!

Brian Beckman's online "Physics of Racing" series is actually very good at helping explain what the different components of a a racecar are doing. You don't have to be an engineer to learn a lot. Plus it's free.
As others have said, doing is still better than reading. Do you have a kart track nearby?
