AX is good to get the car control fundamentals down, but after a certain point if you aren't a good "sight reader" in that you can pick up a course by walking it and master it in 3 runs, it's time to move on to DEs.
I stuck with AX for 8 years and felt it was 3 years too long; never could figure out a course quickly, need repetition like you would on a track.
The $/time to seat time ratio is horrible as well.

I've been wanting to troll some autox events in the CMC car as a way to evangelize for NASA but the timing never seems to line up. Summer time is balls to the walls between NASA and all the other fun that gets crammed in there. I used to autox before my NASA days and it is fun, but it's a really high sunburn to track time ratio and way less beer drinking and BSing.

Funny you mentioned it...I took my BMW street car to the Houston SCCA AX on Sunday and ran on 300TW street tires. We got 5 runs, it was a riot...not the same amount of driving or excitement as a track/race weekend but also consisted of 20mins of car prep. I was done by 1pm so plenty of time left in the day to drink beer...
