Iflyadesk,
I agree with some of what you said. Auto-X and track days DE's are different. If you go in the spirit of learning I believe both are valuable. If you go thinking you will lay the FTD your first time out it will be a very humbling experience.

I have lots of dirt track and off road racing experience so I know a little about going fast. I am fairly new to asphalt though and regularly get spanked by experienced drivers (men and women) who have been playing this game for a long time. It's all in good fun. Our Auto-X courses here regularly reach 80mph on the straights so speeds are very valid for performance driving street or track.

My car does not suffer the horrible understeer at low speeds you describe. Perhaps just tire differences. I actually find it to be very balanced and predictable fore and aft. Fast or slow, street, track or dirt, smooth smooth smooth is always the name of the game. An unsettled car is a slow car.
