I have autocrossed for a number of years with the Utah SCCA. I don't believe my skills are up to par for road racing at Miller Motor Sports Park. I need to improve my understanding of race dynamics and what lines to take and why. I have read Speed Secrets Professional Race Driving Techniques, and Secrets of Solo Racing. What do you recommend?

Reading is an OK place to start, but it isn't terribly useful in isolation. I'd suggest you at least get some seat time autoxing and perhaps a day or two at an instructed HPDE event. After that, the reading you do will have a solid frame of reference. As for good general purpose "Readers", try "Going Faster" or "Winning".
