    Two ways to do it: Do what everybody else does, or learn how it all works and do some scientific experiments. First way is faster and cheaper, but you are always following somebody else, that likely followed someone else... 2nd way you can learn on your own and come up with more optimal solutions for your car and your driving style. Assuming doing it the latter way:
    1. Get all the Carrol Smith books - Tune to win, race to win etc.
    2. Race car engineering and mechanics - Paul Vaulkenburg
    Get a tire pyrometer, learn how to use it and test, test, test... track days are best for that rather than at a race. There's no one perfect setup for all conditions and tracks.

    I'll be doing some Neon racing this summer (24hrs of Lemons), so I'll figure some of it out this year.
