Best way to learn racket?

Ah: The Racket Guide. http://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/
Call a plumber and the faucet starts working.
But the question still stands, where would you point and experienced C-side programmer to start off in racket?

There are a few tutorials in the docs too, such as the More[1] tutorial. I agree that it could be nice to have "Racket for X programmers" guides.
If you get stuck, the community on IRC at #racket on Freenode is friendly & active and so is the mailing list.

I think I'd like a walkthrough/tutorial of the basic language itself to start with, something like the python.org tutorial.
Ultimately I'd like to be using racket (lisp? scheme?) similar to how I use python, for simple scripting with room to go large when needed.
Where would you, the experienced racketeer (schemer? lisper?) tell a newb to start?
