Default Websites for car set ups?

Anyone know of websites that explain car set up for suspension, brakes, vehicle dynamics, cornering techniques, engine maintenance, the business of running a racecar team, stuff like that?

I don't mean just for S2000's but for road racing in general. I'm interested in getting into SCCA Club Racing in the next couple of yrs. Maybe an IT series or a spec series like Spec Race Ford or something. After watching the races at Summit Point and the Runoffs on Speed Ch., I'm dying to go Club Racing.
Thanks for the help.

Warren

This just in: revolutionary new form of websurfing developed, called a "book".

Try Ross Bentley's "Speed Secrets" series, Carroll Smith's "... To Win" series (eg. Drive To Win), Paul Van Valkenburgh's "Race Car Engineering", etc.

Also, you could always go down to the track and volunteer to be a pit crew slave/gofer for somebody who is willing to help teach you what's up in your local area.

I can vouch for Speed Secrets, been using it as toilet reading and it's way better than all the sh1t you find on the web.
