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.
I highly recommend a book called Motorsports fitness manual
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.

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.

Not specific to karting, but this is a great book on driving technique.
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.
