TDE is
The Driver's Edge. It's basically a NASA-style HPDE program, but they're a little bit less anal about some things*. It's pretty cheap ($300 for the weekend - 8 runs total over two days + classroom time), and you get an instructor in your passenger seat on every run in the first two rungroup levels, with headset comms. They mostly run at MSR-Houston, MSR-Cresson, and TWS. I'm really enjoying it so far.
* - That's not to say they don't take safety seriously, but they don't have a giant rulebook either. Classrooms and some handouts tell you what to do and not to do, flagging/passing rules, etc, and a basic tech inspection sheet signed off by any SAE mechanic gets your car on the track for the beginner level, assuming nobody sees an obvious reason to inspect any deeper while you're there. Total asshats and/or idiots are handled on a case-by-case basis via instructor feedback heh
