Here are a couple of links for you to a SCCA PDX and Time Trial FAQs that I wrote:

Just to clear up a few things that I saw written in this thread:

The recent event that run on July 11th by the Buccaneer SCCA was a SOLO/Autocross event. This wasn't a PDX. A PDX was run by the SCR-SCCA at Roebling Road on June 27th and 28th that I was the event Chair at.

There is a considerable difference in cost to enter an autocross versus a PDX. The Roebling autox for example was $35/$45 for members/non members for one day, while my PDX event at Roebling was $320 for two days with in car instruction included.

But, there is a huge difference in seat time between an autocross/SOLO event and a PDX. At the Roebling autocross, you received six ~70 second runs on the course. A total of ~7 minutes of seat time. At the SCR Roebling PDX, you had ten 20 minutes sessions, a total of 200 minutes of seat time.

So at best, the autocross was ~$5 per minute of seat time.
The PDX was $1.60 per minute.

SCCA PDX does not neccesarily have a "90 mph" speed limit as was mentioned earlier in the thread. At our SCR Roebling PDX I was one of the instructors, and none of us gave our students any sort of speed limit, we simply worked with them to get them comfortable at speed. By then end of day one, my student could go as fast as he could with the corner exit speed that he was able to get onto the front straight. Day two, he went even faster down the straight, since his exit speed was faster.

I run SCCA Autocross and Track events, and I also run track events with NASA. You can't go wrong with any of these events. Autocross teaches you great car control that translates well to driving on the track. Former autocrossers usually pick up track driving very quickly, but that isn't to say that you need to autocross first. Some people have no interest in autocross.

Whatever your interest is, get out to an event. I have had most of my students look at me and say that they wish they had found these type of events sooner.
