I no longer seem to do club meetings, unfortunately.
It's a simple matter of time and energy - both in the week to strip/clean/prepare the car between meetings, and at weekends to actually go racing.
When I was a student I used to race every week (although mostly indoors, which is easier on the prep) but nowadays I probably do ten meetings a year.
It doesn't help that every time I race at my local track I seem to break the car, but that's a different matter...
(edit) One other thing that makes a difference is timing. Club meetings at Ashby used to start around midday, which meant you could go racing and still get a lie-in on a Sunday; and at West Bridgford, the Friday evening meetings fitted well with the rest of my life at that stage. Now, racing inevitably means getting up earlier on a Sunday than I do in the week.
