Well - that's how it is in the UK. Most people have to make a decent length trip to race.

I make a round trip of 120 miles each time I race. On the plus side there is always 30-60 racers present on a typical day. Over the winter, the numbers actually increase as we move indoors to race TC's, plus the weather is no longer an issue - assuming people can still stravel to the venue!!

In the midlands, surely there are quite a few choices - so long as you're prepared to travel?
