Judging by the Number of Entries and the Number of Spectators at Harewood on Sunday they could have run two 1-day club meetings and taken a lot more money. I suspect it is the old wives tale of the kudos of holding two British Championship meetings in the season outweighing economic sense!

As there are 11 venues that currently hold British Hillclimb meetings what would be wrong with a 22 round championship that only visits each venue once? This should lead to a better spread of events throughout the season and cut the cost for the competitors into the bargain. The 'dropped' events will still attract massive entries and will not mean a loss of revenue for the organising clubs.
