I'm just scared if I buy Creators Club right now I won't be able to get Torque X free. Who could I contact about this?

Torque X has not yet been released. It is still in beta. It will be shipping soon. When it ships, the details of how creators club members get access to the engine will be available.

Because we've been repeatedly burned in the past we try not to be make any specific statements about release dates until they happen. I can tell you that Torque X 1.0 is done and ready to be released and we've already done a ton of work on the next release. It's in final beta-testing and we'll have it out to you guys as soon as humanly possible.

That doesn't mean you can't buy creator's club now however. I'd say if you don't need creator's club yet, then hold off until GG does the official announcement on this.
