Bremerton (BSCC) only happens at Bremerton Motorsports Park (go figure) and is pretty laid back in terms of rules. You tend to get a lot of novices out there at those events.
SCCA does 4 events a year at Bremerton and 4 a year at Packwood. I strongly suggest you take at least one trip to Packwood this year to check it out as it's the best venue we have (thus we host National events there twice a year). Usually you can make a weekend vacation out of it as its nestled on the southeast corner of Mt. Rainier and the surrounding area is gorgeous. The classing rules in the SCCA are much more strict but for novices it's the same basic rules across both clubs.
I believe SCCA will cost you $5 more per half-day but both clubs will charge you the additional $5 for not pre-registering (don't remember but BSCC might be $10?).
If you're going to do either club this year you should also get a full year's membership with at least one of them. For SCCA I believe you had to fill out a weekend membership for the Saturday practice event so you should already get like a $15 discount on the full year. You can also use my membership number (#456073) as a referral which gives an additional discount if that's the route you decide to go.
BSCC full year memberships can be purchased at the registration desk prior to the events. I don't recall if they require a full year membership or if they offer a weekend variety.
