membership work requirments

Two work days minimum are required per each membership as described below in order to be in good standing with the club. 
A minimum of two work days are required throughout the riding seseon and  one days is flagging day with the second work day can be any type of work day (as described below).

Flagging Day for "Working Membership"

Safety flagger at Unadilla.  Sign up in advance per SATRA Membership Application.  Expected to be “in position” on the track unless temporarily relieved or during normal breaks (after practice & before start of motos).  All flaggers must be 18 years of age minimum.  Counts as one (1) full work day towards work requirements.​

​Unadilla Ride Day Flagging for all members

​Due to our agreement with Unadilla at our SATRA rides, we have to flag a few positions on the track to satisfy safety obligations.  The time slots for flagging are one hour long, approximately six positions over a five-hour ride period (30 position hours total).  In the past, some have had to cover multiple hour time slots in order for the ride to happen.  If 30 riders attend for a day, then all time slots can be covered fairly.
 
Although a few members utilize the non-working membership, we ask that all members (working and non-working) share the Unadilla ride flagging responsibilities.  This is a unique situation that is the “cost” of riding at Unadilla for one and all.
 
Those that have working memberships (single and family), please sign-up at the ride for a flagging time slot.  Family members that aren’t riders can fill a flagging position as well.
 
Those that have non-working memberships are asked to please sign-up for a flag position to share in this duty (think of this as your lunch break).

Rider Sign-In

Responsible for ensuring ALL riders sign ALL emergency contact sheets & releases at the ride that day.  Counts as one (1) full work day towards minimum work requirements.  Sign-in sheets will be provided on site by a SATRA representative.  The following are the responsibilities of the “rider sign-in person(s)”:
  • Arrive at the track 20 minutes before the start of the ride and establish a sign-in area for clipboards plan to stay the entire ride.
  • Verify that all riders have filled out the SATRA emergency contact sheet.
  • Verify that all riders have have signed the SATRA release sheet (parent must sign beside minor).
Some locations have their own releases that must be completed before you ride.  If applicable, verify that all riders have signed the location release sheet (typically Unadilla). For the minor release sheets, verify that all minors & parent / guardian have signed (typically Unadilla).

The work "value" will be determined based upon the work detail.

  • Flagging days at Unadilla are completed.
  • Dues are to be paid prior to this Unadilla commitment
  • Re-instatement without penalty option is to sign up for the a non-working membership.  This cancels out the denied membership and may be applied at the start of the ride season.
