I'd go with the group that gives you the most seat time with the best instructors, showing up to a true competitive event might leave you feeling out in the cold as everyone is more concerned with winning their class than helping a newbie, or at least there may not be enough mentors to go around.

The Lotus and BMW clubs near me have good reputations for this, I've heard SCCA near me only gets you ~4 runs whereas I average 6 with the BMW club and once had 7 plus fun runs afterwards put me to 11 that day for ~$60.

Good to hear they are some good people who have patience and teach newbies rather than brag out hoe much time do and car's performance. In my area they are too cocky, i would like to attend for hone my skill and perform better in road race

So many great quotes in Days of Thunder:

"All right. While we're still under a caution, I want you to go back out on that track and hit the pace car. ... Because you've hit every other goddamned thing out there, I want you to be perfect." - Harry Hogge

"When the rear end's loose, the car's fast. Loose is fast, and on the edge of out of control." - Harry Hogge

"Because we have a really good set of matched tires on it. Those tires are matched perfect and staggered special." - Harry Hogge

"If you can't afford to leave it at the track then you shouldn't be racing it."

I just lived that quote this weekend.
