The only thing is being a paying member of 100 a year gets you a lot of discounts with partner companies including track days. If I do 3 track days a year it more then pays for the membership in discounts.

I mean, If I have to spend my days with a bunch of conceited guys in order to get unlimited track days, I'm about to go to the mall and get myself a polo shirt, shorts, and slip on shoes.
Funny enough, there is such a club in my town. They all meet at a local coffee shop and the majority are clearly upper class older folks that can afford Maserati, Porsche, Hellcats, etc. It is free to join, but I never felt so much out of place, there I am with a car that costs a fraction of the price of everyone's cars, trying to fit in and the looks my car got weren't necessarily welcomed. Tried to strike a conversation here and there but it was clear that I was a peasant.
