To me the paying for racing is without doubt the cheapest part of racing. The second biggest cost is the buying of the equipment, wouldnt like to add how much ive spent over the past 12 months but i'd bet its huge. The biggest cost is time away from my girls.
Looking at it this way an extra £3 to race is tiny, however it is completely optional as no-one is forcing anyone to race outdoors it just seems a good oppurtunity. If one of the electric clubs in the region had to rent some land, build and run a track do you think they could physically do it for £3 per man race day fees? They cant thats why there hasnt been a 10th scale teack in the NE since Durhams track at Cocken lodge closed down 10 years ago. Maybe as I come from 1/8th scale racing where the costs are bigger and all race meetings are £10+ £7 or £8 doesnt seem rude at all. The Neo buggy this year is £100 for an entry, Novarossi GP £60, Emma event was £60 for instance.
It would be great to have a track that was only £3 to race on, i wouldnt complain at all as it would give me more money to buy mince pies and lager but unfortunately its an impossibility..........
