If you want to 1. be safe, and 2. get good you do need proper instruction to start. There are many basics that you should get down pat before you start looking for speed, and the best way to do that is with good instruction. Like any sport you need the fundamentals first, and at times the only way to learn them is to be shown by a qualified instructor.
I see experienced drivers at the track who have had lots of seat time, but still don't know how to hold a steering wheel (a PCA instructor recently... he gained a few seconds a lap by fixing just that one thing) or many other of the driving fundamentals.
It can be pricy to take instruction... but it is much cheaper then hitting something. I see so many people spending big money to try and make their car faster, when what they should be doing is tuning the driver up.
Don't worry about being faster... worry about driving better and the speed will come.
