Where exactly is the saving?
Will track hire costs reduce? Will organiser insurance reduce? MSA Fees? Timekeepers? Medical staff? This idea will not reduce the core costs of organising a race meeting.
The only saving I can see is fewer stewards managing entry and spectators. What you lose is the income from those spectators. This has the potential to be twice as much as the income from race entry fees (which is a separate and well-discussed marketing issue), so you are eliminating your best opportunity for income to save maybe £5 per entry fee.
A bizzarre way of going about business, or have I missed something?
