I've read both "Secrets of Solo Racing" by Henry Watts and "Going Faster" by Skip Barber. Both have great advice for driving what you have, and I recomend both, but they don't really go into tuning the car except to say that you should add more bar and brakes here or there, kinda too generic really. I know many here have and live by the Miliken & Miliken book, but that covers a lot of engineering and math. It sounds like I'll have to add Carrol's book to the library too... I think I spied a box about the same size as the Miliken book (with solutions manual) under the tree today!!!
