Default Racing Literature?

In my quest for more knowledge, and general information on racing, (and a bit of impulse) I have purchased a few new books.

Speed Secrets & Inner Speed Secrets - Ross Bently
Going Faster! Mastering the art of race driving - Skip Barber Race school
Tune to Win - Carroll Smith

Have any of you guys read these books? Your impressions? What should I read first? As this is my first round of books on the subject, any other suggestions for good reading material?

Speed Secrets is a great book.

I recommend 'The Front-Wheel Driving High-Performance Advantage". It was written by a few people including Carroll Shelby. The book is a bit outdated (1988) but has some great information on the handling differences between RWD and FWD. It also has good alignment tips and driving techniques from pros.

I got my copy on Amazon used.
