I've taken some national level autox guys around a track and they freak out at the speeds, while I've ridden with them at an AutoX and was blown away by how quickly an AutoX car transitions.

There is a saying: A "Good" autocrosser can make a "Decent" roadracer
However, A "Good" Roadracer doesn't make a "Decent" Autocrosser.. Basically the principles of Autocross translates easier going into Roadracing...and Not the other way around..
I personally do HPDE's as well.. but I know from experience there are different aspects to each.. and have to respect the differences. If not you end up in the fence..
