In reply to your post about people "whining" over the cost of tyre spikes:

Many of us do not have Iridium visors
Or helmet paint jobs
Or helmet spoliers

I for one have never had any of this, simply because I'd rather race a plain piece of kit, rather than not afford to race at all - please don't generalise and accuse people who want to compete at S1 on a tight budget of being overly frivolous.

The gripe some have with tyre spikes is that they are Ł48 extra and have only seemingly been announced long after people registered for the series (having already committed a huge sum of money) - Ł48 may not sound like a lot but if you only had Ł20 spare budget anyway, it's very annoying to get slapped with...

And to those who would read this and say that those struggling to afford to compete at S1 shouldn't try - remember that the costs of competing in the series have escalated considerably since the end of 2008 - there will always be those spending a lot more, that's inevitable, the problem is that the basic costs have now priced many out of even entering, giving them no chance to compete at all
