I don't really see why the clubs that run race meetings are any different to clubs that runs rallies, speed events autotests etc. The local club of which I am secretary, has some 600 members so is perhaps bigger than some of the racing only clubs. The commercial risk of running a forest stage rally is perhaps bigger than that of many race meetings
I just don't understand McMuttley's point that people can't do the events they want to without signing up for a whole series. It is only in racing that that exists. For example today at Croft there is a single venue rally on the circuit with 70 plus entries from about 20 different clubs.
Last August whenthe HSCC ran a meeting at Croft, quite a few local drivers wanted to enter who don't normally do HSCC events as they are so southern based. The extra fees they wanted in order for us to enter were about £50 I think, thus they ran with less than full grids and will have had a reduced income.
