Yeah Dave, I know.
I worked out my Race at Mallory park cost me £100 per minute.... yike!
Im not against expenses being paid to roboteers, after all the event orgaizers tend to want a profit, not loss, so if they make money it should only be fair they reimburse the roboteers, but if they make a loss, it should not be expected of them to pay up.

Not making reference to my event, but for example, Debenham last year, most roboteers were fine that they did not get expenses as they lost money on the event, but some did moan. I think its become the norm to have this and that, so roboteers have become used to it.

if it were me, and I made the Law, it would be simple, if an organizer makes a sufficient profit to pay petrol, they should, enough for accom, they should, enough for appearance fee, they should, but only in equal parts.... ie, expenses are £400 paid if they make a profit of £800, and so on.

To me any expenses are a bonus

Same here.
in fact, I think it means I can attend more events this year as the new business has tied up so much cash. Got expenses for the first time from Aber, and suddenly I have an event account to decided if I can go to more.

just checked your site. Looks good except our bots called Spearhead not Rhead - the Spea is round the corner.
