Al,
I'm running in the BARC TRC series, and I'm not a member of BARC, and on the entry forms it tells you that you don't need to be. I'm probably one of the more financially challenged runners out there, but at todays prices, I think that the series is bloody good value - you get two races for that. The recent sprint at Brands was £139 for a couple of laps, and even with a full entry for the sprint, I doubt if it covered the circuits hire fees ( I know it didn't ) Unless we can attract hot rod / lower league football match size gates, we're going to be the only ones paying the upkeep - either directy or through an independent organising club.
