if i can point out that they did a bad thing the the British E'roica, and cancelled it a couple of weeks prior to the event, there was a complete uproar and they have burned a bridge for the UK for sure...they may well do the same thing here.. registration was down last year, it was still a good event, i think the Nova would rescue the weekend moving forward as us old gits stop riding, the new riders could do the nova... heck if they would look forwards and create an E'roica Electonique!!! then that would be something.. on a different day of course...however 300lb electric bikes with 200lb riders doing 40mph could be dangerous...
one advantage the Goodwood paying participants had was that as Goodwood was a private venue, refunds or application of fees to other Goodwood events softened the blow.
