I for one believe I receive alot from my membership to the CC & GTCC. If it came down to choosing between just the silver strikers or the CC & GTCC there is no question I would go with the main club. I have enjoyed my membership to the main club for the past three to four years and the education, magazine, and people have been worth tenfold the twenty five dollars a year for my wife and my self. There is no doubt in my mind that the main club will be around long after the last silver strike falls. By the way Berry the BB you are using for free is supplied by a "Chipper" There is also a free "Library" of guides if you are a member of the ccgtcc. Membership in the club is what you make of it and I for one am having a ball.
