Want to try AutoX. How to start?

Hey,

I know a few of the hardcores are into AutoX here. I am interested in trying out AutoX and see if I'll like it, but not so sure what is the best course to do so. I looked at VCMC website but not too sure which event is suitable for a noob to go to. Any regulars mind to give a few pointers? Thanks!

How does the Velocity Driver Training compare to this?

Is the Velocity training really for people interested in AutoX already? Cuz I want to see if I like it first before I plunge $150??

is it useful to take both the BMWCCBC course and the Velocity course? 1 seems to be vehicle basics, the other seems like racing basics?

Any LYK going for AutoX event n mind if i do sit-in's? ~ I can also do photos while at it.~

Hmm... the only thing I don't like about Track days is, it sounds high risk. I mean, you can really only go so slow and so careful, as you are still trying to drive somewhere near the limit.... And then what if another car is going idiotic instead of you? There ain't no insurnace/at fault etc on the track I don't think.....

AutoX.... you can get ur car smashed up to something other than cones, but the chance is much lower in an Auto X setting. They don't even have tire walls..... but yes..... a whole day spent but only a few minutes of total run time with tons of chores does not sound like an appealing combo.........
