This talk of inter club has got me thinking .......... how about a winter indoor national season? I know this isn't the best place to start that discussion but it could make sense ..... 5 months, 5 clubs (Newbury, Hereford, Worksop, Southend and somewhere else in an area not covered by the first 4 maybe) ... just an idea
As for what can be done by individual clubs it's a tricky one. When I started racing in the 80s I only went to one club for years but now people seem much happier to travel further to find different types of tracks. The problem with this is that either the clubs have to charge a lot to cover the costs of buying the equipment to build these tracks from just a couple of meetings per year or as Andy says they just put each other out of business. No easy solution as there are still plenty of people willing to just stay local too.
