Do people walk into Buddhist Temples, sit down, "meditate" and become
enlightened in a quick and painless half day program for $395?  

No.  First much discipline and patient learning is required, often including
countless hours of seemingly irrelevant manual labor.  

Such is the same with Autocross.  You must first learn, before you can
unlearn, and transcend the mortal distance between cones.
