Agree with Jim, people have got to learn to deal with RC as an occasional thing enjoyed by the general public, as well as a dedicated hobby. Look at track days - huge numbers of people have a go, but most will never take up even Club Racing, let alone competitive motor racing. MA have a mountain to climb, not helped by too many dedicated RC drivers trying to create an avalanche from the top!! If you want a dedicated indoor facility that caters for all forms of indoor track racing, try Ardent. If you want something that will attract more people to consider taking up RC, then support MA as well.

Very true, but race tracks that hold trackdays - like Silverstone - have to be suitable for BOTH race meetings and trackday punters. At the moment the Moto Arena track in no way caters for racers, and I don't think it is ideal for beginners either.
Moto Arena is currently a fantastic venue with a poor track. It has so much potential and there are a lot of people out there that really want it to succeed - and want to help be a part of it and get everything sorted out. What is a disappointment is that from the racers point of view all this seems to be just ignored.
Hopefully things will be sorted out in the next few weeks - it needs to be otherwise they'll miss out on the shot at hosting big meetings next season.
