I 100% agree.

It might be worthwhile to get an experienced driver to run an event with
you to help get the car in the ballpark so that its not doing anything
silly, but then forget about tuning and concentrate on learning to drive.
You can't make a car tuning change that will get you 2 seconds on an autox
course, but you frequently see novices 6+ seconds back from the class
leaders.  The difference is primarily the driver.

(well, until you get to non-stock classes, but even there you gotta drive
the car well to take advantage of any tuning)
