having raced for twenty years now I would say its never been so cheap to race (having spent £50 pound a set on matched nicads x 6sets 50 pound a brushed motor that didn't last very long and speedos at £150 each )
nowadays we can all be "as fast as each other a lot cheaper " Note speed doens't make a great driver but it does level up the playing field good drivers will always make it to the top
tyre costs are probably the biggest issue which as has been said is down to the surfaces we run on
Astro need little maintenance and anything that assists our hard pressed officials to run a meeting for us to race at will always help,without the volunteers were scuppered !!FACT
RC has never been cheap but pit against premier league footy match or full size motor racing meeting its value for money
