And all to win something that the promoters very own operating model, devalues and destroys any kudos and credibility in winning... You really cannot make it up, can you...  

exactly that, we can strip the cost of racing back to the basics but then riders will start spending again to get an advantige to get ahead. Then the circle starts again, its the nature of motorsport and speedway can't afford it currently. 

You  could stop paying equivalent of Annual Salary for a 5 month season in UK. Majority of Top Earners also ride in Europe too,would like to see the Average P60 for riders. Time to call their bluff .IMO. 

Totally agree, riders say you have you pay X amount because that's what bikes cost. But really it should be riders get paid based on how much income clubs get from the gates & sponsors. Clubs willing to run at a loss is bizarre to me. Riders won't like it, but as other have said they used to have to work & ride. Maybe it's best the Champ goes back to what it was like when Workington returned? You could say ideally the Champ is for riders who live & work over here. Prem riders can chase Poland etc.

Well yes we can and it’s not difficult or expensive but and here is the problem, how do you police it, a classic example is the GT140 grasstrack which has become very popular, a standard engine costs around £450 and was seen as a bit of fun and entry level to bigger things but now as it’s popularity has grown riders are buying heads for these engines that cost more than double the cost of the engine, all for that little edge, one tuner has been banned because he was putting all sorts of trick stuff in the engines, it can be policed but it is hard 

Just read on the updates Sonny Springer is retiring. Big shame, he certainly had a lot of potential.
