Why?

I'm not interested in having people from all over the country visiting our club and racing. We chose a system that is best for our club and our local drivers.

The problem with having a Monopoly has been clearly shown in the price that the AMB system costs?

I know it's not a great comparision but... I can get a fully functional HD handheld video recorder, high spec PC and software to edit the HD Video, HD DVD burner to burn discs a HD DVD player and a good sized HD LCD TV screen to watch the HD video on and still have change from what it would cost a small start-up club to pay to be 'part of the AMB gang!'

Look at all the technology that goes in all the above, then look at the technology that goes into an AMB system and tell me why it costs £1000's instead of £100's to purchase...?

The answer is: MONOPOLY.

That's why it is not good for the sport at local level.
