Requirements to join and be in good standing: Meetings are every Monday at

7:00PM at the clubhouse at the Cycle Bowl. Persons interested should come to

a meeting and ask for an application, 2 members will need to co-sign for

you. You then go through 8 "readings" where you attend 8 meetings and we see

if we're comfortable with you and you with us. We're also looking to see if

you're a potential member that will be doing his share of club work, that

means that as membership requires at least 120 hours per year of volunteer

time, we would want to see you doing at least a "pro rata" amount of time

during your readings. Thus, if you show up every Monday for 8 weeks for your

readings, that would be about 2 months and we'd want to see at least 20

hours of club work during that time. Track watering, flagging or other race

work, weeding, facility repair- there are lots of club duties that count as

hours. At the 8th reading we'll vote on your membership and if you pass,

then you are a probationary member with all rights and privileges except

we'll do one final vote at your one-year mark. Dues are $75.00 per year,

payable when we vote you in at your 8th reading. To stay in good standing

you need to be up to date on a pro rata basis as to the 120 hours and have

your dues paid, you also need to attend at least 1 meeting per month.

 

Benefits: If in good standing you get a club gate key and can come to the

Club any time you want. You can ride any time on non-race days during the

daytime (it costs a bunch to run the lights so we only do that for races)

and you can bring 2 guests to ride on non-race days. If your hours are up to

date you get all race entries (except any money-paying races) at 1/2 price,

if you have "double hours" (240 hours per year) you get free races. The

discount race entries apply to you and any direct family members (self,

wife, kids, grandkids). The Club also has a Christmas dinner that is covered

by the Club.

 

From my perspective the best part of membership is feeling like you're

helping keep one of the few and one of the oldest race venues in the country

open and going strong. It's also cool to have a practice venue as there are

few places to practice dirttrack. It also saves a nice little sum of money

to get the 1/2 price rides, if you ride all 21 events that we're running

this year and ride two classes per event, that's 21 times 2 times $30.00 or

$1,260.00, 1/2 of that is $630.00. If you've got any kids and they ride too

you save even more.
