Hey all, Just looking for a little clarification on the membership price and details. Looks like the membership cost is $65, yes? The description of the membership in the "products" section says that there is a $10 per day discount on track time, and that two weekends pay for the membership. That only equals $40. Am I missing something here, or are there further discounts on full weekends or the membership itself that aren't mentioned in the description? I don't want to come off like a cheap skate, but we're moving this summer and I really only foresee having enough time to be able to attend, at most, 3 weekends this season and need to stretch every penny I can. Thanks!
Yes, it's 10 bucks a day saved. Thought I had joined but didn't . Did today. Asked about it, they really were thinking of those doing weekends. So 2 weekends it would be paid close to being paid. Guess it should say 3.. Other benefits are free shipping or mounting of tires, and discounts on tires. I don't think I will save enough to pay for the membership doing just track days since I'm a one day warrior. But I believe in support those who support me. STT if a great organization.
Breakdown / Tipover insurance - an STT member benefit - alone makes the cost to become a member worth it, imo. Ask me how I know! haha..
Weekends normally have a little more than 10/day last year most were about 30 off if you buy the combo pretty sure the membership description hasn't been updated with the cost increase. Normally around black Friday they are on sale so keep a eye out next season buy the membership early to save some money. Also girls and military get a slightly larger discount 15% off

"But I believe in support those who support me." Well said, I agree with that. Thanks to everyone for all the feedback here!
Since nobody explicitly spelled this out I'll definite a little more accurately. You are correct that the $10/day discount would only equal $40, but every weekend bundle you buy you do save an additional $10/weekend for a total savings per weekend bundle of $30 over non member price. Unfortunately this still doesn't add up to the full $65 purchase price so they are incorrect with the 2 weekends pays for the membership statement. When I bought a membership in 2015 it was only $55 so the statement was valid back then, however the past and current season was $65 so they likely never updated that line to read "2 weekends plus a day pays for the membership" since they raised prices. Even if you don't see yourself doing weekends or 7 individual days in a season Its still worth purchasing just in case you crash in the morning you can get half your money back in credit which you could even sell if you weren't going to use it.
Mounting and balancing the tires is $50 itself so that nearly pays for it! Anyone bought tires at the track before? Are the prices competitive?
