i would think it would cost alot less to go to the track a few times for test and tune to learn the tree than to pay a large sum of money for somebody to tell you when to do whatever. if you wait on the green your late anyway right. if you think about it we all do things a little different from everybody else anyway. if the class was on chassis setup and so on it might be ok. in the end its up to you and what you feel like you want or need to do. i would like the chance to get in a truely fast car as i will never be able to afford to go super fast. i couldnt justify the money for the class but thats just me. good luck to you which evey way you go.
