Yes. You can buy a weekend membership onsite for $15. Tons of newbies buy weekend memberships. Here are the upcoming events over the next couple of months:
1. Boondoggle: February 10th, Oakland
2. March 10, Marina
3. March 17, Oakland
4. April 21, Oakland
5. May 5, Oakland
6. June 9, Oakland
7. June 30, Marina
8. July 21, Oakland
9. August 18, Marina
It's easier (and cheaper in the long run) to buy a regular membership. The full year is $90, I think, and you can count a recent weekend membership toward the cost. That gets you into any SCCA autocross, anywhere, at the member price, plus Sportscar magazine. Plus some insurance benefits if you ever get mowed down by a novice.
If you're 24 or under, the rate is $45 a year.
SFR region does 10-12 events a year, and there are regions in Sacramento, Reno, Fresno, LA and SD, probably even more in between. If you like to autocross, it can save you a bunch of money.
You also can enter things like the San Diego National Tour (at the end of March) and the El Toro Pro Solo (April) and even Solo Nationals (September) if you want big-time competition.
Otherwise you will pay $15 every weekend you want to race with SCCA clubs.
Blaine, come out and play. I bought a set of the new Direzzas ...
