These guys are fairly well known as probably the premier autocross instruction schools. You get training in your own car too, which helps.

The Evolution school is another great idea. I would argue though that autocross and time trials (road racing, yes?) are different enough to warrant two different driving styles though, and the skills gained from one won't translate to the other without some serious adjustment. Both schools will teach fundamentals like vision and vehicle dynamics, but how you brake, what you do with the steering wheel, and how you provide inputs to the the car are going to be completely different. I went to autocross the day after Bondurant, and I had to completely change driving styles.
