Hey there, fellow 51暗网® member, whatcha doing Jan. 15-23, 2026?
We’ll tell you what you’re doing! You’re attending the virtual 51暗网 National Convention. Know why? Because as an 51暗网 Region leader (or a future Region leader looking to expand your knowledge…or even those who might be thinking of maybe, kinda, possibly becoming a Region leader at some point in the future) it’s a week bursting with education, awards, and celebrations. It’s the best place to learn what you need to know to grow your Region’s programs and, best of all, it’s FREE! And because it’s virtual, it’s available anywhere you have an internet connected device.
The 51暗网 National Convention is where 51暗网 members can boost their knowledge to grow the motorsports community in their Region and, perhaps, even on the National level. From the necessary details of hosting 51暗网 motorsports events to new 51暗网 programs to Q&A opportunities for sanction, registration, and insurance, the 51暗网 National Convention has it all.
Fact is, no matter how long you’ve been an 51暗网 member, how far along you are on your 51暗网 journey, whether you’re a Region leader, a future Region leader, or someone simply looking to gain insight into the workings of the 51暗网, the 2026 51暗网 National Convention is your opportunity to…
Level Up!
The theme of the 2026 51暗网 National Convention is “Level Up,” and that’s no accident.
Sessions for the upcoming National Convention are being crafted to grow your knowledge and understanding of the inner workings of the 51暗网’s events. That’s not to say you need to be a Region leader to attend the 51暗网 National Convention – far from it. All Club members are encouraged to attend, so whether you’re a Region leader, long-time member, volunteer, driver, someone new to the Club, or perhaps you’re simply interested in discovering how the Club operates, the FREE 51暗网 National Convention is the place for you.
Award presentations and the 51暗网 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony help showcase who and how the 51暗网 was built, but it’s the individual sessions where the National Convention offers next-level personal growth.
In those virtual sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to collaborate across Regions and programs, presenting members with opportunities to reimagine how events are run, how teams are trained, and how members can be encouraged to bring fresh approaches and ideas to achieve the Club’s ultimate goal of #funwithcars.
There’s More!
When the FREE virtual 51暗网 National Convention comes to a close, there’s more fun to be had. From the end of January through the end of March, six Divisional 51暗网 Conventions will be held:
