its a combination of all if i am honest. As most of the tracks are a fair distance way I have not ridden them as track days and could not afford to do track days to get practice. I also dont have the freedom in work anymore to have time off in the same way.

Does it make you less of a member if you dont want to do 6 hours journeys every weekend?
How many folks have been to Oulton to do a trackday? Not too many i would imagine as its too far, what about Croft or Knockhill? So why should I have been to Brands or Snetterton?

Sometimes we just have to realise that unless its the only thing in our lives we might not want to travel that much. I find it a bit harsh to suggest that because we dont go to all the events down south that we are any less of a member. I do acknowledge that most of the members are down south so although we do try and joke about having stuff up north its pretty clear that it wouldn't get much support.
