You can do pro instruction, but practice is the main thing. You can learn a lot by following faster drivers, riding w/ faster drivers, etc. More than anything else, though, seat time is key.

BTW, it is possible to push your car hard & be SLOW. when i first started, i DESTROYED tires, brake pads, etc. I thought i was senna! Now i am in a whole other league speed wise, but my equipment lasts 5x as long......

as they say, don't focus on being fast. focus on being SMOOTH and the speed will come.

also, if you really want to learn to drive, you won't do it w/ six minutes in the seat during an Auto-X. you're in san jose; that's like an hour from laguna seca. go there & drive!
