Default Recommended reading?

I was just wondering if you guys had any recommended reading for road-racing or just driving in general.

To start off the thread, I've had 2 copies of Secrets of Solo Racing:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...23858?v=glance

Had a lot of good stuff in it and I recommend it for anyone trying to learn this stuff.

I read both of the Speed Secret 1 and 2 by Ross Bentley. Pretty good reads.

"Drive to Win" and "Tune to Win" by Carroll Smith.

"Going Faster" by Carl Lopez / Skip Barber Racing School.

All three are must-reads, especially during the off season
