SCTA Membership or Club Membership?

Papi,

Here are a couple of links that I recently found useful. These are articles were written by a former dragracer, Scott Horner of Heads Up Performance, who is now doing the LSR thing.

Good luck,

Buzz

Jon -- You served overseas?

I was just hoping it wasn't the same Papi we came to know and love. I'd still change my screen name if I was he.

No, but I've been to California. Is that close enough?

Those are two nice articles.

Has anyone looked at the club points the last several years...

Glen, those are not rocks you are using it's your ear wax mixed in with sixty years of old salt and dirt..

Pay no attention to Kent he can't even follow proper directions on how to pull the chute..(little one first not at the same time)

And Fred...well poor Fred most likely won't remember what he said tomorrow... has a bad case of CRS

All the clubs are great it's just that the SDRC is the Greatest!

maybe we should poll to see what club is the best.

Gear Grinders
SDRC

SDRC +1

Seldom Seen Slim · July 17, 2009, 03:35:52 PM

Hey, Glen -- here's what we could do. I'll reset the Forum registration page so it requires everyone to list his club affiliation, if any. Then we'll ask the question about which club is best. Then we'll program the machine so that members of any particular club are prohibited from voting for their own group.

Yeah, that'd work. I expect we'd get about four or five folks responding. Whaddaya think about that?

So I take it that SDRC is the best Club?

You guys are to funny...

Now is SDRC a club that is centric to El Mirage and Bonneville, or just El Mirage? And is the club more MC centric?
And can someone get me some info about SDRC by the way.
Being in NorCal, I don't think we have any "clubs" up here. If a representative of SDRC want's to talk with me about a NorCal extension, I would good to go with that as well. But as of now, I don't know anything about anything in regards to LSR Clubs.

I am in San Mateo, which we like to think of as Northern California. I was a member of the SDRC for a number of years before I was asked to leave. The Milers, on the other hand put me out after only one year. I'll let you draw your own conclusions as to which club has the higher standards. I'm now a Rod Rider.

Seldom Seen Slim · July 17, 2009, 05:03:50 PM

Well, Papi, some of the clubs are pretty strict about where members may live, and others have more generous interpretations of how close one must be. For instance -- I live about, oh, 2,500 miles from the GG meetings -- yet they accepted me. I don't attend meets at El Mirage more than once in a great while -- so I don't do any volunteer duties at meets there. I pay a different annual membership fee than do members that are close in. I think I'm an associate member (meaning I pay different and live a long ways away). Other clubs might accept distant members, but I'm not sure of which does and which doesn't.
