Hey everyone, I'm getting the racing bug and want to learn as much as I can. While I'm planning on getting some instructor time in the summer, in the meantime I'm wondering if anyone knows of any good resources online that provide good reading material?

 

The Ross Bentley books are good after you've done several track events and progressed beyond the novice group. Might be a bit much for a beginner, but you could always reread later. The first three are a great start.

A REALLY great site is turnfast http://www.turnfast.com/

 

On the above Amazon list, I'd recommend starting with book #8, "Going Faster." This is the best single volume book I've found; I'd personally start with this before going to the Bentley books.

 

Also, check out the articles here on the Alliance magazine.

 

op,

While this is not on-line, the best book that I have read is Carl Lopez's Going Faster: Mastering the art of race driving. The book is available on Amazon.com

I heard the dvd is not that great but I have not seen it.

 

There are some pretty good ones here:

Also, not sure if you are planning to autox but if so, this one is good:

Yeah, this is exactly what I was looking for!

Some really great stuff here and the books look awesome as well... I may just order myself one of those books, as they look terrific.
