That doesn't sound to bad for an afternoons work if in the UK guess not so good if having to fly all the equipment out abroad assuming GP organizer doesn't cover that cost.

I think they will make last years Brum and Oxford look like Cradley 1984 and Ipswich 1998 hopefully a half decent side can be put together for both as not doing anyone any favours if they get destroyed every week but does make you wonder where a couple of top level riders for both will come from assuming Kurtz is staying at Belle Vue.

Didn't Charles Wright pick up around £8k for his 2 GP appearances last year?

They are not doing that. Jason mentioned how long it takes to complete the paperwork.

How much will the gp boys be getting from prize money this year ? I got the impression it was never massive money and the main plus to being in the gp was it helped get better personal sponsors, I never remember it being a major earner other than when Andreas Jonson won that race that was worth was it $100,000 dollars ?

I'm not sure if they gave away 500 free tickets, that they would all turn up.
