Congrats Evo_Someday!
My suggestion is to use BMW and NTAXS for practice and seat time to prepare you for the SCCA events. My first few years of autocrossing I only ran SCCA and ER events and I wasn't really getting much faster. There's just not enough seat time or opportunities for ride-alongs and coaching (in my opinion) like you can get at an 8-run event with more relaxed rules.
