You can't expect to go around 'gatecrashing' events just because that is your want. I would dread the thought that at every race that our Club organised, the grids numbers were made up with a bunch of 'angry locals' who were wound up against the 'esablishment and might not, for example, have full resect for the event, the machinery or the other competitors.
Let me know where you live, I'll post your address on the Ten-Tinkers Forum, they dont like paying rates up-front, or taxes, or adding to the community; but would love to live in your back yard for free.

You have read through my post but not into it, what we have is not a useful contribution to the discussion but a personal attack on myself. If the last part is a sample of your capabilities , you would be best served by keeping your stupid comments to yourself ! You do not name the club which you seem to be a self appointed spokesman for, would be interested to know. I will answer one point which you have, for some self important reason, have labelled as " gate crashing " . The club concerned will not be named in case they cannot defend themselves but basically offered to run my driver in one event as an invited entry, with no awards nor allocation of points so that regulars would be in no way affected , it would be as if we were not really there but was still turned down. To race in the south would cost some £500 to join and register with four clubs , money I am not prepared to spend , so what is the alternative ? One option is to turn my back on motor racing, how does that benefit the sport, you would probably say do it ( rock ape mentallity kicks in ) and loose my financial contribution permanantly. Another option is for clubs to offer me day membership for my driver for say £20, again running as invited and no awards of trophy's or points , perhaps even you can figure that answer out ???
