Oh dont get me or us wrong. We are not a golf club or a members only club. We 100% welcome non-members. We simply charge 5$ extra.

Our membership fees are in place to pay the bills and nothing more. We found we could get more dedication if racers submitted annual checks for the year. In return there is 100% all you can race/practice access to the indoor club and any outdoor racing. Our pay as you go membership is there for people that cannot issue checks or simply dont think they can be as regular as others.

The cost is there to cover costs and hopefully remind our racers that they made a finacial investment or commitment to the club and encourage them to use the club... OR loose it. WE are month to month lease so we just need to bounce a few checks and where are gone!
