mmm....Depends on the club.
One in these parts, who will remain namless, was known for having more wide open layouts where speeds were significantly higher and lap times were very short (NFL stadium parking lot). This meant more runs for everyone and less waiting around. Too bad someone wrapped a car completely around a light pole after losing control... none other than the very experienced president of the club.
I've seen some very close calls at these types of venues by novices. And novice I mean like the very first event, first or second lap. Randy Pobst said that you should concentrate on going slow in the begning, a lesson he admittedly didn't figure out until he was well into Autox and on his way toward being a professional driver. But I wouldn't discount the danger in any form of motorsport be it karting or autocross.
