yeah and there is membership fee. membership is $75 for me per year for national and regional, plus $25-30 per event.
I didn't count those in the figure above, since that was for vehicle modifications only.

the driver you see at the top of this page is one of those instructors. these days when I autox with them, I'm told you don't need my help, just work on your lines a bit more. I'm not singing my own tune here, but it takes that much time to gain the little bit of respect I've gotten from these guys. They are all either autox competitors at the national level or bmw CCA club race drivers/winners.
I still have a long ways to go before I can hop in anyones car and drive it faster than they can (speaking of noobs) but I can come close.
