I did the math earlier this year. Seat time vs. Cost. You get almost 3X the seat time at one HPDE/track day for the same cost as a bunch of autocrosses. -Coming from the cost of different AutoX organizations in Southern California (averaging the cost) and averaging the cost of a bunch of driving events/HPDE/track days from (Redline, Speed Ventures, BMWcca, etc..)

Find out how much you want to spend, then save up and go to 1 track day. Often their are free instructors there willing to help as well as other enthusiasts who would be willing to lend advice. -they are much more receptive and willing to help than the stuck-up AutoX wieners (as a whole). Granted you can still find nice people at AutoXs but you will learn more, have a better time, improve your craft as a driver, and get more out of driving on a track than between cones (hell, I do that every day in freeways in LA).

Put autocross at the bottom of the list and it would be accurate :biggrin:
