I started out Autocrossing, like many others. After a couple of years, though, I grew to dislike the work-to-race ratio, i.e. six hours at the track for four minutes of seat time. In addition, I can't "sight read" very well, so can't get much feedback on my lines and gives no opportunity to practice. It did teach me a lot about car control and tires, though.
At an HPDE, you get lots of track time and they hire others to do corner work. You normally don't get an opportunity to walk the track beforehand, but the sessions are so numerous and long that it's a non-issue. The track is also wider, giving more options for the corner.
I can't say that autocross sucks, rather I think I've outgrown it. Give me road race track ANY day of the week.
