I'm going to be in trouble for not having this yet:
Going Faster! Mastering the Art of Race Driving — The Skip Barber Racing School.
My friend highly recommended it to me.
There is a local rally cross event here in the Tampa area on the 22nd of December. Non rally prepped cars can enter. Check it out here:

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
