Lets not forget the difference in price. AutoX is around $40, Road Racing can be nearly 10x that.

That IS a track event....on a road course, like Road Atlanta....
There are very few PDX hosted throughout the year and most of the time, its only a portion of the track with cones included. Take this weekends PDX at Roebling for example. Not the full course and is designed to be an entry level track event but at a fraction of the cost.
I would say that depends on the individuals personal interests

but not nearly as fun....
look auto X is cool and all but the experience is nothing like an HPDE event. HPDE you drive at your own pace.... dont push the limits of the car the first few times.... hell in a NASA weekend in HPDE1 you get at least 8 20min sessions.... thats well worth the money you pay. That is 2 1/2 hours on the track.... you learn a lot in that amount of time.
My first time ever on any track was Road Atlanta and i highly recommend saving up and doing the HPDE before you attempt anything... you will go home on Sunday knowing exactly what your car is capable of and what you are capable of as a driver.... autoX doesnt really give you the effect of learning your car at high speeds.
going around cones at 30mph is much different than taking turn 12 at Road Atlanta at 85-90mph.
