Joining SVTOA is for event insurance liability purposes. A lot of track events usually have no insurance and people are SOL.
As for the limited number of track events, there are other chapters and regions that hold more track events. The Redline Rendezvous is the Eastern Canada Regional (our) track event. There is, on average, about 6 to 8 regional events across North America. We have to balance the demand of such events, as well as the various costs involved (such as track rental, marshalls, instructors, sponsors, etc.). Plus, there's a lot of time and such invested in making the events a go.
The other thing about our events is that you get the social aspect too. You're not just running with people on the track. I've seen a lot of people get good references for businesses and services from each other. Sometimes, people end up getting a good business relationship that end up in business deals.
As Carey said, there's no cost in just showing up and seeing how we do business. Daniel_B is there working the corners. There are at least 4 SVT Foci coming. A 67 Mustang has joined in the fun, as well as a Gen-1 RX7. A good variety in vehicles.
Anyhow...hope to see some of you there.
