If you want a GREAT read try " Sport Riding Techniques " it not only gives great info on how ride on the track but gives you some good street lesson's also.

+1, i have it as well, author is Nick Ienatsch just in case you want to find & buy it, written quite well & very easy to understand unless you're a total idiot LOL (joke). read the book several times before i did my first trackday (on my CBR, i had some prior racing experience but it's all me though, no instructors).

Twist of the Wrist II by Keith Code is also a good read, a bit on the techy side, it teaches you the finer points of steering, throttle etc. etc. but also a must have if you're serious on improving yourself.

btw here's a couple of my trackday videos, i hope this convinces you it's the best & quickest way to learn & hone your skills so you can be a better street rider, most of all i had the time of my life, you'll cherish every minute of it.

^^^^^^ +100, if you didn't get way much better after your first trackday then something must be wrong with either you or the instructor & you should immediately give up riding for eternity (joke on the last part) , seriously though it's a big + on your skill level, my times improved by 15seconds from what i started out with but there's still a few more things i need to do to go quicker & better.
