It seems that there are much more experienced people in NASA, and I can probably learn more from them being in that environment and running against faster cars. Also SCCA doesn't seem to offer full day PDX events like how NASA and chin and tracksunlmt and hooked on driving offer. I plan on doing that may event, and possibly 1-2 NASA events and well as the santa run in Dec.
That's because SCCA is primarily racing while a NASA weekend has two race groups then HPDE/TT. SCCA does offer full PDX weekends, but not at Road Atlanta. NASA has a good program, but I've just seen too many iffy things, I'll run their enduros (running all three this year) but...

As for experience, in HPDE sure NASA has more experienced drivers as many run a whole HPDE season. Racers...that's debatable. :p

The NASA santa run or the little local santa run thing?

Check out MVP Track Time as well, fantastic group, they're doing RA twice, Chin is there a lot this year, BMWCCA may be back, they offer by far the best instructing/learning program in the track day business. Loads of seat time too.
