Join APBA — New Membership (2026 Season)

Create your Trackside account, complete the membership form, and check out. You’ll receive a new APBA# at the end.

How it works

Three quick steps to get racing.

1

Create your Trackside account

Use your email/phone to set up login. This account will store your membership and documents.

2

Complete the membership form

Select your category, fill out details, and add any required uploads if prompted.

3

Checkout to submit

Your application shows as Processing until approved—then becomes Current.

Before you start

Having these handy makes signup fast:

  • Valid email and phone number for account verification.
  • Payment method for checkout.
  • Any documents your category may require (e.g., capsule training & health info). You can also upload these later at My Account → Licenses/Applications → Add/Edit Capsule Training & Health Info.
