    I'm going to second what the above poster said. I'm a little biased, but I got involved in NASA because of the way that they do things.

    The road to getting a comp license will be slow, but you when you get there you should be an excellent driver. NASA's HPDE program pairs you with an in-car instructor for most of your beginning and intermediate sessions. The benefit to having the instructor in the car with you is that you get immediate feedback on your technique. They also couple track time with classroom sessions to learn some of the theory behind why you want to do this or that on track.

    The next event that will be kind of close is May 14th and 15th at Roebling Road in Savannah, GA. I'd recommend going to that rather than waiting for the event in August at Road Atlanta. The Road Atlanta events get filled very quickly thus making clean track tough to get. Plus, Road Atlanta has a lot of elevation changes and blind corners making learning the track more difficult and possibly taking away from focusing on driving.

    Another program to check out is Seat Time. Seat Time only conduct events at Roebling, and focus on DE with no race sessions occuring during the events. My roomate instructed for Seat Time last weekend and gives them a thumbs up. You get lots of seat time (no pun intended) without a lot of stress.

    If you have any questions, lmk.
