The book I'm referring to is Paul Van Valkenburgh's Race Car Engineering and Mechanics.

We have a copy of it in our SAE shop at school that I've been reading occassionally and it has been absolutely great. The writing style is easy to follow, but doesn't skimp on the tech. The fact that it uses various 1st and 2nd gen Camaros in several of the illustrations just makes it that much more awesome. I just ordered my own copy off of ebay.
If you are so inclined to also buy one, try to find a newer revised edition.
