Joining Slack

You can join our Slack by following the instructions under the Resources tab on our member's website: members.vamotorsports.org . If you have any questions regarding joining our Slack, please contact Steven Peng at sjp3cv@virginia.edu.

Paying Dues

There are two categories for dues: Membership and Social. In order to join the club as a member, you must pay the Membership dues. If you wish to participate in our various social events, such as bonfires, team dinners, game nights, and much more, then you will need to pay the social dues as well. Also, the membership dues comes with a team shirt!

The costs are as follows for the 2019-2020 School Year:

Before Spring Semester Starts

• Membership: $35
• Social: $25

After Spring Semester Starts

• Membership: $30
• Social: $15

Payments can be made to @VirginiaMotorsports on Venmo, but if you are unable to do so, then cash is also accepted at Lacy Hall to our Vice President of Finance, Carolyn Wong. 

Safety Training

In order to participate in the hands-on aspects of the organization, you'll need to complete four safety trainings if you haven't already: three online and one in-person with our Shop Supervisor, Sebring Smith.

The three online safety trainings are as follows:

1. http://ehs.virginia.edu/Shop-Studio-Safety-User-Agreement.html
2. https://researchcompliance.web.virginia.edu/cst/shop_studio_safety_orientation/verify_login_credentials.cfm
3. https://researchcompliance.web.virginia.edu/cst/firesafety_InLabsShopsStudios/verify_login_credentials.cfm

To complete your in-person safety training, you'll need to schedule a time to meet with Sebring at Lacy Hall. You can do so by emailing him at sebring@virginia.edu.
