Guess the reason I'm more interested in TC:ARC is because of something I think about a lot. Every says the track is safer than the streets. So to me it makes sense to spend money on the course more tailored to the more dangerous environ. Another thing ppl say is you have to learn to go slow before you go fast. The track isn't suited for going slow 
And TC:ARC does offer things that apply to track riding. This is a member of another forum who did TC:ARC 1&2.

Looking through my notebook, Lee Parks came to a nearby BMW dealer in June of 2007 to give a talk about his book Total Control. My friend and I went because he was the editor of Motorcycle Consumer News. It was a fantastic class. He went over every chapter in his book. I signed up for his class.
It was held at a mall parking lot that was roped off for us. I was on my old Suzuki GS1000. There were mostly sportbikes, including a trailered R6 with new race tires. But there were two cruisers, with one being a full-dress Harley. We warmed up our tires and I was behind the Harley. There was a shower of sparks from his floorboards as he went around a tight corner.
At the end of the day, the Harley was right behind the R6 and there were no sparks. The class changed the way I ride. Mostly, it gave me confidence. Here's a video I took last week on my 1979 GS1000:
