More like a shady character in the work party. :woot:

Some existing astro sections are being tidied up and the astro renewed.

There is some sections getting newly astro-turfed and also some islands and corners changed.

It is a lot of work, that is getting done in a very short space of time due to having a very full track calendar this year.

Hopefully the new/refreshed astro areas are going to be raceable for the GP on sunday, to allow some pre-national track time.

For those that have not been to the club this season there is already some new features that were made pre-season including; a new exit in what was a long island at the end of the straight; doubles replaced by table top with additional side exit for 2009.

that would be telling....but to narrow it down, the only grass left on the track is in the middle of one of the islands. :o

I've been tramping that shady area for many laps over the years.

I'll be looking forward to some new shizz to race on, but will miss the that old stuff.

Make that 75 and there still comming in thick and fast.:o
at this rate we may have to cap to number of entries.
I would advise if you are thinking of doing this event, then get booked in,
at this rate you may not get in if you just turn up on the day.

Need mind astro-turfing the shady area under the trees, how about some lighting down there? You can't see my car at all on the far side of the track! People were calling it the Stealth D4 because it disappears in the shadows!

Or maybe having a dark green car was a bad idea......

gerbil 01-06-2009 08:19 PM

i just could help but hit it (moving target) :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Jonesy 01-06-2009 09:48 PM

I think you should have bought back the good old clay area in the top corner!! I used to love that, favourite memory being the British Grand Prix in '94 (I think)
