I'd have thought a greater hurdle to entry for beginners to the sport, who might just want to try out a single race instead of the entire series, would be that £10 extra for a number board, rather than the fact you might be racing against someone with a second bike. I don't really get the obsession with digital timing, Eastern League have always been incredibly efficient with pen and paper through winter conditions with very large fields.
Summer series in Yorkshire is £10, which seems about right to me for a midweek race.
