Add up the number of workers you had this year (not per race, just actual people) and multiply that by the max they earn for credit($30). You will see a big difference between that figure and the $2 x total entries at all races in your region. The $2 fee is being used to reimburse national for the waiver of the $30 national dues. Regions still get their portion. Numbers do not add up at this point. I was informed that the BOD can change fees without publishing them in fastrack. Don't like it, better let your BOD rep know about it. Why do I now feel like the IRS.

This also doesn't wash. The "temporary" member program requires ALL workers/particiapants/entrants at a club racing/solo/rally/TT event to be a member. It is "recommended" that regions charge a $15.00 differential to "non-members" and then forward the required $5.00 fee to national. It is the same program to "cover" the cost of "temporary" memberships but at a greater fee.
This "temp" member stuff cost our region large $$$ to cover our single event, hillclimb ham radio volunteers. 99.7% of them will NEVER join SCCA as they only care about the radio/communications aspect iof the hillclimb. We could not hold the event without them!
I like the idea of an "audit" fee to ensure compliance and maybe that is something that can be looked at at Jekyll. I am new to all of this but I am pretty certain that my car is legal (although I need to check the engine a little more closely) and believe that the majority of my fellow racers are legal as well but a certainty of post race compliance check may nudge those on the edge back to the correct side.
What do you other SeDiv guys think?
