If you're thinking of running in race weekends then I wouldn't hesitate to pick up a good set of Nomex socks and underwear. If you don't think you're going to race then I wouldn't bother with the Nomex.
If you wind up running in the series you'll probably want your own helmet, Nomex race suit, HANS device, at least two sets of Nomex underwear and a poured foam seat insert. (The insert keeps you firmly planted in the car requiring much less arm strength while cornering)
When you're at a track and don't have access to a washer/dryer the Nomex will get awfully ripe after multiple days use during a race weekend, so a second set offers some relief.
Not sure I'd call the two day more serious than the three day. It is more focused on preparing you for the race series and some might say a lot more fun as well. You'll probably have a ball.
