My thinking is this. What if we all pay up front for all the races then if anyone drops out New Era still get their money. I know this won't be popular with many as it's a lot of money to find up front, me included, and the idea is that this is supposed to be low cost racing, but it's just a suggestion.

no way i can find a grand having just bought the bike. guessing vast majority feel the same. no other new era class has to do it, why should we?
circumstances can change - what if someone loses their job?
no way this is workable

TBH I didn't think it would fly but I thought I'd just punt the idea about. I would struggle to find the money too, what with Xmas looming.
