When autocross goes bad

[bobt993]

I don't think anyone said autocross is easy.  In fact, the skills for autocross apply directly to road racing and are essential.  Most road racers start with autocross/ karting then to some form of "DE" and finally road racing via clubs or organizations.  I do not know anyone to go from road racing to focusing solely on autocross.  The progression is logical, but not absolute.   The response was more to the statement that autocross is harder than a road course.  If you approach both at an elevated level, then I like Darren's analogy to best describe the intensity level difference.
