Entry Levels at Historic Race Meetings

[coppice]

I am at HSCC Cadwell this weekend and the entry is ok, but hardly oversubscribed - a shame as it is one of my favourite meetings , and at my favourite circuit of all. Lots of reasons why things are thin - but one not mentioned so far is that so any circuits and racing clubs are fishing in the same pond . There's more than enough cars to go round but not if so many clubs are essentially targeting the same demographic of cars and drivers . And nearly every circuit hypes its home grown 'Historic Festival ' , as if nomenclature alone will attract Silverstone Classic or Goodwood Revival/MM scale entries and crowds .
