Default Racing lit, schools, advice

Need some advice guys. I'm dormant for a month or two with the new baby. So, it's a good time to do some reading/research on the addicting sport I love so much. My weakest areas are learning new tracks, (haven't driven too many different ones) and car set up, alignment etc.

Can anyone recommend any books on racing and car set up?

What racing schools are recommended that occur in the southeast?

Now that I have the right car to play with, I really want to be the best I can be.
I appreciate you guys suggestions!! Some of the best drivers out there are on this forum!

Rog, I will second what others will say wrt Speed Secrets. Great set of books and an easy read. As far as tracks, as long as there is a practice a priori to the race you should have the track down relatively quickly unless it's the 10 mile 50 turn Miller Motorsports Park
