My thoughts (after making this mistake myself)... let it happen... and it will.. happen. Seat time is going to be your greatest coach and validation and if you push too hard to be "faster", you may push too far and end up in the grass.

I enjoyed the following books:
Total Control
A Twist of the Wrist I/II - keith code

There's also a book called "Track Day guide" or something.. which features some local tracks to the midwest as well as a few of the local celebrities (Matt Drucker, Jonah at Momentumphoto, Carol, etc..)

Trying to keep up with someone faster and who knew how to ride helped build some confidence. Riding on the back of Pridmore's OEM-stock GSXR1000 at Heartland Park brought a new level of realization as well.
