Default Any vids/books on road racing?

I'm gettin ready for my first track day at NHIS and wanted to know if there were any videos or books that were helpful to getting a handle on things before getting on the track.

Have Gary H take you for a ride on that track if he is at the event. A ride is worth a thousand words or more
