no membership required for mid-ohio trackdays, some of the other tracks do require one though. just select the day and the group you want to ride in, pay, show up at the registration garage on the day of the event they will ask for your name make you sign papers get teched and then if you are in novice, just be where they tell you to be and they will help you out with any questions or concerns. stt does an amazing job at running a trackday you will not be dissapointed.
