Neither of which is a very good reason for the resulting choas the ensues.

Until the MSA start taking responsibility for British club motorsport rather than just playing with the big name championships then this cycle will continue to destroy. Club motorsport will die and probably take professional motorsport with it.
True, If you look at short circuit racing as a closely related sport with similar costs ( away from the bangers), this is what goes on. A promoter ( similar to a organising club) comes up with something attractive and people migrate to that promoters meetings until another comes along. However, the sport as a whole seems to thrive rather than die.

I think the difference may be that promoters can start up for less cost than an organising club and they don't have a body such as the MSA restricting what they can and cannot do.

Maybe, if at some point MSV find it profitable to organise more meetings we may see some change. Until then, I doubt things will change much and the circle will continue.
