They do this so everyone is insured and racers show up. They have a great system and it works well but if Joe shmoe shoes up one day to practice, he cannot unless he has a ROAR membership. They have added about 50 ROAR members because they are willing to give up their share of race entries to insure that everyone gets the membership and insurance and it worked out great for all of us, but cost them about $1500 in race fees
That's a lot in race fees to give up, considering you can get $2,000,000 liability insurance for half of that if you shop around. Not to mention all the guys that just want to run on the track once without having to get a membership.
