I'm sure if I had done it within my first year of autox-ing it would have been a huge leg up and I'd be much better now for it. But I wouldn't want to do it without 2-3 events under my belt.

20 runs on the same course with two excellent autoxers setting times in your car and riding along critiquing you can be totally worth it. You can get that experience yourself for sure, but to have a few months or even years worth of experimentation concentrated into one day is certainly a value added proposition.
Agree to disagree. I think the only better way to start is Starting Line or equivalent. There were a few complete novices on Saturday.
