I've been trying to find a good book that will give me useful information and tips on roadracing/autocross but have come up emptyhanded. I've found one book on suspension setup but that's it. Are there any books that I could read that would help me become a better driver (along with seat time, of course)?

LOL, you got it right. Along with seat time, here are two books I have that I would recommend:

Secrets of Solo Racing - Henry Watts

Going Faster! Mastering the Art of Race Driving - The Skip Barber Racing School

I found both of these books at either Barnes and Noble or Borders. Any major chain should have them.

 

yeah, i saw the skip barber book and it looked like a good one. but when i searched barnes and noble about 500 books came up. just keep the names coming, anything you've read that you thought was useful and a good book.

"Race To Win" by Carrol Smith is a good one. and yes, carrol is a guy. lol

 

thanks for all the links guys.

 

My favorite for just information about driving theory and the perfect "line" through a corner is the book Secrets of Solo Racing. It does not go much into door to door racing but it rocks when it comes to autocrossing.

The Watts book is a great one.

 

Gotta 2nd Going Faster, the skip barber manual. Easy to read and understand.
