For me, it's mostly about competition at the autocross. My good friend owns a 89 hatch with almost identical mods as mine and we tend to be quite competitive with each other. Basically we show up to beat each other and have fun with the other people we know. I do agree though, it's kinda a waste of a day if you look at it but if you have a bunch of friends that run in different classes you have something to watch all day long. It ends up being quite a fun day.
The problem with track events is the low number of tracks in Michigan and the fact that they are usually booked on weekends so they don't have a lot of open track days. There is one that's a couple hours away that does test-n-tune on thursdays but I'd have to get off work, drive 2+ hours and pay $50. So, while I plan on doing that a few times next year, it won't be a regular thing.
It sounds like you west coast people have more tracks to your disposal. Plus I'm sure the weather is better.. stupid Michigan
