Dave,

i joined one of the MCSCC clubs (Chicagoland) and applied for and received a MCSCC "novice" license.

which is all i need to run SCCA events if i buy a weekend membership. unless you run a bunch of scca events, this is the cheaper way to go.

i figure i will do this until i recoup my "Isaac" investment funds from SCCA membership fees. i have no issue paying for a race weekend since that supports the local regions. but i intend to minimize $$ to the national org.

plus i had to shell out for the LeMons license....
