Re: Race Entry Fees
How ANYONE can afford to race in club events continues to be a mystery to me; the prize money is either non-existent or laughable,but the cost of getting there and running a bike or outfit are not funny.

Circuit owners need to be commercial , and insurance companies- but it rankles like hell to have to pay dearly to entertain the public .

I guess there is no easy answer to the "who pays wins" arguments, but true Road Racing is the nearest thing to the ideal as far as I can see; the Government keeps up the circuit as a public road throughout the year, and we get to race on it maybe twice, for a small consideration.

SO many great people give up their time to help for free at race meetings everywhere, that value is often omitted from the reckoning.

Maybe it is time to see motorcycle road & circuit racing as a charity, and try to run it as best we can into the distant distant future , with no illusions of monetary grandeur?
