The idea behind no spectator meetings is that it dramatically reduces insurance costs (public liability insurance is basically eliminated).
At many race meetings the vast majority of the people watching are involved (i.e. friends/family/team members) of the people racing.
If the number of tickets issued per race entry was increased slightly I think the idea could work for many club events.
Although it would NEVER work at Castle Combe, where there is always a big spectator turnout.
