As others have said, it is important to do some AutoX/Skid Pad when first starting out. I don't think Hooked on Driving provides that so before going with them, I'd look into doing the novice school with your local BMW or Porsche club. They don't care what car you bring and most of them include a half to full day in a large parking lot doing various car control exercises and then a day of novice instruction on the track.

Hopefully someone in the LA area can say if the local clubs provide this sort of novice HPDE program, they have great programs here in the NW. There may be other clubs/schools in your area.

Be safe and have fun!
