Karting (for my brother) and motocross bikes for everyone else. Motocross bikes give you a great feel for control/balance, especially when ridden in muddy/swampy/rough conditions. Karts, well, heck they are mini-cars afterall

Skip Barbers "going faster" (as linked above) and Henry Watts "secrets of solo racing" are great books for their respective fields.

Spending time in a kart at any age or experience level will improve your driving.

Period.
