technically, the website says you get some period of time for free (3 months maybe?)

would this be $30 annually per registered car?

Each dNaNo has a built in lap-counting IC chip so each car can be uniquely identified. Upon purchase of a car, the customer registers the car to his unique on-line ID of his choosing. This is done through the dNaNo Track Management software. Very little info is needed: User ID, password and email address. That’s it. Once registered the driver has free access to racednano.com for three months. After three months they can choose to sign up for a one year membership for only $29.99 or just over $2 a month.
not to be a party crasher but the entire trophy system is built upon you spending money. it's nothing more than a rewards based system for continually dumping cash in thier pockets. there are exceptions however within the skilled and best lap clubs

On their garage page on racednano.com he or she can view the cars they own and lap times for each car that has been run at a dNaNo circuit. They can also see stats on each car like total service time and total laps. Click into the trophy room and the driver can see what clubs and achievements they have earned. The clubs consist of the Experienced Driver’s Club, Skilled Drivers Club, Collector’s Club, Tuners Club and the Lap Record Club. Within each club are the achievements. In the Experienced Driver’s Club you can achieve awards for number of laps run from 100 to 100,000. In the Skilled Driver’s Club it’s all about speed. Achieve a certain lap time on a particular layout and you will move from Experienced, to Semi-Pro or Semi-Pro to Pro. In the Collector’s Club it’s all about your garage. The more cars you have, the more awards you achieve. The Tuner’s Club is for the gear heads. Buy a hop up part and register it with the shop and it’s added to your gear. The more you tune, the more you earn. Last comes the Lap Record Club. This one is for all the time sheet junkies who want to make sure they are the fastest at their track and or regionally or nationally.
