" Track time credit at Thunderhill? 

Not all instructors are interested in driving at Thunderhill, so offering
free track time there wouldn't necessarily be a plus. Thunderhill is an
incorporated separate business operated by the Region and is not related to
the Solo II program. Thunderhill has a paid staff. 
(There has been disagreement at several levels about how well some of those
staff members are paid.) 
The rest of the club is run by volunteers. 

>>Anything?  From what I understand, the Solo II

>>of other SCCA racing programs.

Not in San Francisco Region. SF Region's Solo II program is self-supporting
and uses its income to finance its future activities. Solo II money is kept
in a separate bank account and does not support the Region's road racing
program. It has been that way since 1975. 
        (Separate accounts are not a reality in all SCCA regions. Indeed in
some regions Solo II does finance that region's other activities.)
        What the Region does receive is the regional dues money, i.e.
$20/person. $45 goes to National. The National money is used to finance the
rule-making committees, insurance, etc. 
        In return from Regional dues, all Solo II people receive The Wheel
from SFR. You tell me if it's of value to you.   

>>The club surely must recognize 
>the value of the volunteers that make this happen. "

Indeed. If there is one thing everyone agrees upon, it's that we volunteers
are the people that make it all happen.
