Uhhh...there are fees if you want to join the club b/c there are costs involved, there are also benefits (like the upcoming dyno day ($30 for 3 runs I believe)).

There are no fees to be among the club...

Also found out why Bill stopped tuning cars. Apparently his insurance company was going to change some things around (assuming higher costs) if he were going to offer that service on a regular basis.

I know, I know, I was just poking fun

I can totally understand why he got out of the tuning game though, frankly I can't blame him.

I am curious why many of the folks here haven't joined the local club. I'm wondering if there's something that would entice others to want to join??? We have pretty decent participation (around 20 people in attendance for most meetings) and we have a really cool program where we are working with The Chandler School to educate these kids on automotive topics. The Headmaster is a Z guy (among other cars he races) and the president of our club teaches a 2 hour class every Friday morning. This leads me to another benefit of the club - he is getting a lift installed at his "garage" on premises which Z club members are allowed to use at no cost.

I never joined because when I looked at the calendar all I saw was dinner. Paying 25 dollars to be a member of a dinner club seemed strange.

Good feedback! For clarification the $25 is for associate only, it's $40 to be a full member. Basically though you want to see events, any in particular?

A phrase we throw around the office a lot is "perception is reality."

As a non-member, I don't have a clue what I'd like to see. That said it sounds like you do more than the calendar would lead me to perceive is happening.
