The other misconception that keeps cropping up in this connection – as it has in this thread – is expressed in use of the word ‘club(s)’.
As presumably also in this Rye House case, IKR typically does not involve ‘clubs’ in any shape or form. It is normally run by track owners and/or operators. That’s also the beauty: they can – because decision-making channels are so short – respond very swiftly to customer demand AND they can come down decisively on things like contact driving (as that’s also in their immediate and very keen interest).
The only instances in IKR where club-like scenarios might be involved are the travelling championships. But even there customer feedback, demand and response is very direct. When our travelling championship was running, for instance, votes were taken by email on changing the specified tyres. Job done in a day with minimum kerfuffle.
Unfortunately, it is the club structure that has led to this unwieldy bureaucratic quagmire of various associations, fat rule books of whatever colour etc. where any little change is always years away, ages behind the market.
