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 season and  one days is the Unadilla Pro flagging day. The second work day can be any type of work day (as described below).

Flagging Day for "Working Membership"

Safety flagger at the Unadilla Pro event.  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 Club 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 their insurance 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 some members have non-working memberships, we require 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.  Exceptions are made if the rider has a friend, or family member, who can cover their hour of flagging.  They do not need to be over 18 to flag at our club ride.
 
Those that have working memberships (single and family), please sign-up for a flagging time slot before you ride.  Family members that aren’t riders can fill a flagging position as well.
 

Rider Sign-In

Responsible for ensuring ALL riders sign ALL emergency contact sheets & releases at the club 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).
​Each ride should have two sign in volunteers, so both members should still be able to ride during that day.

other work

​Other miscellaneous work such as shopping for flagging supplies. 
The work "value" will be determined based upon the work detail.
  • Non-Compliance with Work Day Requirements
  • Membership eligibility for the following season will be evaluated and decided upon by the officers for failure to meet work day requirements.  Membership denial is possible.
  • Re-instatement of membership may be accomplished only after completion of the following:
  • 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.
