I think the reason this is now coming to the fore and being raised repeatedly in discussion is twofold. (a) Recession and (b) cost of petrol. For both these reasons guys want to simply cut down on their travelling or be forced to give up. The argument this is just a small cost in the whole scheme of things doesnt hold water to me either as it could be the straw that broke the camels back and the deciding factor do I race or dont I. The days when a club held 12 rounds all over the country and you signed up for that and committed are gone, also many clubs have condensed the calendar to 6 to 8 rounds freeing up dates for guys that want more racing and would like to do local rounds so this may be a third reason this is now coming about. Maybe its about time clubsa with similar series/championships opened their doors to members of rival clubs as I am sure it would work for both clubs mutual benifits and get those grids filled!!!!!.
