I seen a Atco racer post on FB saying they didn't charge for points, but there was also no point $ payout at the end of the year either. Said it's been like that the last few years. Not sure how much truth is to it as I don't race there.
They changed keystones point system several years ago. You can either pay to join of join for free. If you pay and make the top 10 you get a little payout. Free points people get a trophy if in the top 10 and attend the banquet. Years ago making the team for bracket finals got you free entry to the bracket finals and a shirt or jacket.
