First things first, what type of karts does this track have by you, the more detail the better (rentals, competition karts, chassis name, engine model/mfg.)
Nicholson Speedway in Chestertown, MD
Sandyhook Speedway in Sandyhook, MD
These are the only two sprint tracks that I found in MD, Since you live in an area that makes it easier to travel to other states I would look at those as well.
Here is a list of master tracks through out the country, these tracks are recognised by the WKA for having solid clubs to support the tracks and follow the WKA rule book fairly closely.
Sure thing! I realized I forgot to answer the book question, the driving books that I learned a lot from were Ross Bentley's Speed Secrets books - less so on raw technique and moreso on thought processes and way to approach things. Back when I read them the first time (I was probably 11 ish so... 2006 I guess?) They came as a series of books but they're now all compiled into one book: it's on Amazon here and is absolutely worth the money. Plus it's way cheaper than it used to be. It helps understand how to break down corners and think about what's going on which then applies the knowledge you have of the vehicle to apply it. It takes longer than reading a simple how to but as a result you'll be a more complete driver after - and potentially get yourself the skill set to drive the fsae car or other cars more quickly and easily.
A good way to practice is iRacing or rfactor or pcars - something with a more real tire model than say Forza or Grand Turismo. Obviously this isn't cheap, sim racing on a college budget can be tough but it's something to look into. It's much more forgiving than real life.
I just found this and it's really growing on me. It's basically the same as a chest protector anyway (maybe not as supportive or with as much impact protection, etc., but the gist is similar and should add some g-load support) and shouldn't affect the driver's ability to operate the gas/brake or steer significantly. That way, drivers could be weighed on a scale and have weights added to their vest and then they wouldn't need to be assigned to a specific kart and electric tracks that require swapping karts between races wouldn't be affected. To make it most fair, they could even require the heavy drivers to wear a vest with no weights just so they have the same "restraint".
The track I'm trying to get to use these is a OTL Storm Evo track, but I might also try to pitch it to a track that runs Sodi GT5 karts (Sodi does make a weight box, but the current fleet doesn't have them). If the implementation is fairly easy and leads to some good racing, I think it might help competitive indoor karting become a hit and not just be a hot lap grab bag of 120 lb stick figures and 250 lb dudes that like barbecue too much.
Midland radios do well. We refer to them as bubble packs because they tend to come in that really sharp plastic packaging that are rounded so they look like bubbles. Something like [these] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001WMFYH4/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1451406976&sr=1-1&refinements=p_4%3AMidland%2Cp_85%3A2470955011&pi=SY200_QL40&dpPl=1&dpID=41XbIQv63VL&ref=plSrch)
For my videos I use this thing, which has a few variants out there: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G568QPC
I was looking for a solution that wasn't permanent so I could loan my gopro to other drivers to see what they were doing differently, this seemed like a pretty reasonably priced option and it's worked well so far. It has straps that you just tighten around the chin area, and stays pretty well, hasn't started to be loose for me yet. It doesn't allow you to close the visor completely, but it's super close, and I haven't had any debris end up in my helmet from the small amount it's open. The only annoyance I have so far is the bracket that it comes with to attach to your gopro was a little difficult to put on.
I highly recommend a book called Motorsports fitness manual
I just picked up Going Faster! and it seems like a solid book.
I bought a medium loaf pan like this. Got an old pot that we didn't use, put it on the side burner on my grill, and melted three 5lb pucks in that, then poured into the bread pan and left it sitting in the garage to cool overnight.
(DISCLAIMER - lead is really bad stuff! If you melt it down, PLEASE do it outdoors, use a mask, wear gloves, and do everything you can to stay out of any fumes.)
As a beginner, you're going to benefit way more from getting your form and technique in line before you start tweaking things with the kart. Change one thing at a time until you get a handle on things.

You are going to have to try some different things to see which impact times the most (make notes of you changes and the results. One thing to keep in mind is after the long fast straights, try to hold speed as long as possible by early apexing the turns. Before the straights, you want to late apex so that you can straighten out the turn and get on the gas earlier. Check out some racing books too like: https://www.amazon.com/Speed-Secrets-Professional-Driving-Techniques/dp/0760305188/ref=nodl_
Plexus is the best I've found. I sell the Molecule in the small bottles of helmet cleaner but am yet to try it myself, however a few drivers I deal with swear by it.

Hah it depends on the rental. And as you probably know already, nothing beats seat time. But what I️ do with any new guy that I’m trying to coach I️ jump straight to video. You’ll learn more from watching your video than just about anything. You’ll notice mistakes you made that you didn’t catch while driving. Take notes while watching the videos and use them to correct the mistakes you made. Also, pick a guy at your local track that’s fast in a kart similar to yours. Watch them and take notes of their line, brake point, release/turn in point, throttle point, exit point. I️ tell people to take two track maps and mark all of those points for that guy for as many laps as you can. You’ll start to see clusters of points to get an average for all of them. Then watch your video and mark all of the same points for you. If there’s big differences between yours and his it gives you something to work on the next time you run.
But in the time being, watch as many videos of fast guys on YouTube as you can. Kart360, Skusa, eKartingNews, all have on board footage of guys who know what they’re doing. If you can find footage of your local track that could help. But it could also teach you bad habits of someone who doesn’t drive very well. There’s also books you can buy. I’ll try to find the title of a specific one that we have at the shop.
This book
Just my 2C, but unless you learn race craft and theory, simply using a “line” drawn by someone else will do nothing for you. Once you learn the theory you then can start applying it to each corner based on your driving style, etc. There’s no magic bullet outside of outright knowledge and practice.
My suggestions beyond practice and seat time:

Still a novice but after looking at it here is my guess. If you can remove the out cast component from the inner cylinder, as seen in the link HERE....my guess is that inner cylinder is actually a split lock collar that you will be able to loosen, slide to the aligned position, and tighten back down.
If those bolts are holding the two components together you might try either drilling it out or trying a GraBit
Edit: Could be completely wrong too but that's my two cent guess.
I've got tennis elbow (same thing as golf elbow but on the outside of the forearm rather than the inside). Those straps with lump on the inside that you wear just below your elbow (these things) actually work surprisingly well. For pain where you have it you wear it so the lump is pressing down on the muscle on the inside/top of your forearm. The pain you're getting is from tension in that muscle group putting strain on the attachment point to your bone at an angle that wants to pull the muscle away from the bone. The strap keeps that angle more acute to the bone so the force is no trying to pulling the tendon away from the bone and instead parallel to it. It gets sore because that force is causing little tears in the connective tissue, which gets inflamed and cause more tearing.
The thing that sucks about those straps is that for them to work, you have to crank them down pretty tight. This somewhat limits the blood flow and also gets really tight when your forearm muscle flexes. Despite those annoyances, they do work really well. After it stops hurting (because its healed up) you can do forearm exercises to strengthen the muscles and tendons and that should help prevent the tendonitis from returning. It's important to let it heal up all the way first or you'll just do more damage that causes more inflammation that causes more damage and on and on. It's kind of a crappy injury like that in that you often have to stop doing the thing that's causing it for a while so it can have a chance to heal. That's why it's such a persistent injury for golfers and tennis players, they never want to stop playing long enough for it to heal.
