I did the autocross thing a number of times as Novice but after about 2 years I stopped. The seat time vs. total time ratio really killed it. Out in this area there would be enough entrants that you only got 3-4 runs. . . . mostly only 3. 4 runs was a rarity. And most of the course was about 55 sec long on average. So, 4-5+ hours for maybe 3 minutes of driving.

It stopped being worth it. The skill building events usually the day before worth more worth it. Higher costs but you got a lot more seat time.
