We met at M4 last year at Midway. I have a GG Evo IX MR, and I run number 463.
MAC Prelim Event Schedule is here:

I'll be attending ~5 events (probably MOWOG's) and maybe a Test N Tune or two this year. I assume Toothy (Brandon) will be at few events this year with his beastly White IX RS which is fully prepped for ASP. He's good. And he's an Instructor so you should be able to ride with him. I rode along with him and learned way more than I would've guessed.
MAC's Novice School is supposed to be pretty good, though I've only attended the classroom portion of it. It goes over the basics of an event day on Day 1 and on Day 2 you get a bunch of runs in your car, instructors ride with you, and I think you might be able to ride with instructors.
Test N Tunes are a GREAT place to learn. You can easily get in 20 runs, ride along with others, and even switch cars with someone. If we're both at one, I'd be happy to give a ride-along; I'll reserve switching cars for only the best opportunities.
As someone else said, don't at all wait for a certain car to start. You might actually learn more and quicker with a lesser car. Attend a few events and you can see a bunch of cars, a bunch of classes, and start to sort out your desired car based on those things. I find myself embarrassed to say I want a Miata in any circle of gearheads which don't autocross-- IF I got one, it'd be nearly dedicated to AutoX though
. But go to a few events and you'll begin to understand why.
