Autocross is not that easy to win. To the guy saying he is a bad ass at it, go on out and prove your mad tyght driving technique lol. I think doing autocross helps with road racing. Teaches looking ahead and stuff, small techniques that help. I don't really want to go into it, I know I am 10x faster on a road course then autocross and have been driving autocross since I was 15. It's a different type of driving, but can be related.
