Really... either one would work. Ultimately, at either event you go at your own pace. You may have an instructor giving you tips, or trying to give you confidence... but no one is holding a gun to your head to go faster.

Overall I personally like HPDE better. But AutoX would be a good start to, its probably a bit safer, and its cheaper. More room for mistake.

If you go the HPDE route, you could jump in with the group that normally goes. I am guessing Rob will be going later this year... sadly I will only be able to do one =/


EDIT: you could always come to the May HPDE event (or any other) if you are not doing ZDayZ... and get an incentive ride from someone. Thats what I did my first time. Got me hooked instantly. You just walk down to the pits and ask for a ride when the more advanced groups go out.
