At a lot of grass roots motor sport the organising club doesn't get any of the gate receipts. Therefore it is not financially worth the organising club advertisng in the local press or national publications like Motorsport News.
As I am on a championship organising committee I have tried to drum up interest with the local press up and down the country. I have met with an almost unified front where they are unwilling to carry any details of the event in advance. They seem to think I am after free advertising even though it is in the most part the circuit owners who would benefit. I have yet to find the solution to getting one's message across, however I am not giving up.
