no. you might be more likely to get entries into some road races if you're a member of a supporting club (crystal palace crits for example), but given the numbers at road races this summer that's often not an issue.
Fredtc raises a very good point here.
In the past, clubs promoted road races so that their own members could get rides in other clubs events, which is why there used to be plenty of races to ride.
Now the whole club system is on its knees and mostly populated by old people. Even if they can understand the modern requirements for event promotion, they haven't got much motivation.

I don’t think the people being old has much to do with their lack of motivation, I think that is more due to increase in paperwork and admin brought about by British (or Scottish) Cycling.
And their habit of turning up once everything is done to erect one flag and take a fair share of the glory.
