Do away with all the unneccessaries, have a nice club website and forum, all members contacted by email or text and that hundred quid could be £25 which no one would mind. Also any sponsorship money goes into the pot for the drivers.
Al, as i have said many times before, what is the need for barbies, very high priced club van which sits for 355 of 365 days a year, and the list could go on. I have felt for some time that if a token amount of prize money was put in to a championship and heres the key "PROMOTE IT PROPERLY" it would pay dividends in increased entries. Just a little something back to the drivers in a world where all we do is shell out and shell out. In this day and age prize money is totally unheard of, i think it may prick alot of peoples ears up. Risky, maybe, but what isnt...
