I basically want to be able to test out and improve my driving ability because I know everyone thinks they are a good driver but, you never know until your on the track. I mean come on, who doesnt want to know they have mad skillz behind the wheel.
If all you want to do is improve your skills, go to any of the performance driving schools. I am associated with the two day Audi club events as well as Hooked On Driving, etc.

There will also be the Reno SCCA's PDXs out at RFR this year.

You can participate in these for < $200/day typically. Instruction will vary.

I personally reccomend the Audi club schools due to our focus on classroom and in car instruction.

Autocross teaches slightly different skills and does probably represent more wear on your car on a per day basis than a driving school, but given the cost differntial, it is probably pretty close to a wash.
