It got totally stupid and was soon put a stop to. A member of the WSRA can get in to all tracks for free. But I know members of that, that aren't ex-riders! I'm a member and it's the first time I've heard that. Former riders who were members could get a Gold Card for an exta £5 which allowed them free entry if they were accompanied by a full paying adult but it was scrapped.
