I concur with all the positive comments about autocrossing. In fact, I think every driver should do it. It's the safest way I know to discover the the car and driver's limits. And I think everyone should know what it feels like to exceed those limits before it happens in a real panic situation on a public street.

I did SCCA autocross for about two seasons before moving on to track day events. I found that six minutes of track time per day wasn't enough for me, and my car and I weren't particularly well suited to low speed events. .... On second thought, given how good Bruce Cambern's car is at autocross events, maybe its just that I wasn't very good at it.
