The most important thing is to make sure you have plenty of anti-freeze.
Serial, I have a book on my shelf called "secrets to solo racing" by Henry Watts.
It won't teach you everything, only experience will do that. But it'll help you get started in the right direction.
I have another related book but it's a little more advanced:
"speed secrets:
professional race driving techniques" by Ross Bentley
I still can't drive worth a crap, can you imagine how bad I'd be without my books?
