Talk to the president of your club, be frank with him and tell him that if you're unable to race with benefits you'd like to separate and move to a different club. Express to him that his team is your preference but, if for, what you feel to be petty reasons, are unable to race as a full member; cest la vie. Ask him if there are other options to entice you to say, perhaps several probationary race weekends to prove your willingness to participate as a team member. Be humble and be sure to go in there knowing that for the most part, nothing is owed to you.

There may be more to this story, however, perhaps you've done something else to begrudge your fellow teammates to you? I ride with the team I do foremost for the teammates, latter for the benefits and prestige. Most of us are never going to go pro, if I'm spending 30+ hours a week with these guys I better darned well enjoy their company.

What category are you racing in? How much race experience do you have? Wins/ lead-out for wins?
