New Venue for 2012?
Guys,
Thought I'd give this an airing in public. I've got a meeting tomorrow about a possible change fo venue for 2012. It would mean a loss of any type of facilities, power, toilets etc etc and be 'in the sticks', pretty remote to be honest. It's on some private land and it measures about 45 acres :woot::woot::woot::woot: It's South of the A31, not to far from Wrecclesham. I would be allowed to use diggers etc etc to make 'whatever I wanted'.....:thumbsup:. There is not much grass (would'nt even grow here) so it would need to be Astro. Would you travel to a different place if the track was twice the size but without facilities? :eh?: |
Yep:thumbsup:
would be a better surface for all year round racing |
Hi Mate,
Not too sure I'd be able to make it 'on time' for the regular tuesday night evenings, with the extra travel, but I'd give it a go, and will have more time for the w/e's too now... |
Re track
Hi Neil, sounds good, closer to us too:thumbsup::woot:
|
All you need is a porter loo like torch as you have the burger van for major events so no different to now so for you I think it's worth looking at if it makes a better track for the future
|
Sounds like a plan if you need help digin I'm in:D Do you have to go all astro as it's nice to race on differant track surface and after all there off road buggies!!!
You gotta love the dirt!!!!! :D |
Boo! I might have to drive more than 5 mins from work:p
Yeah, sounds like a plan to me. :D |
Another 10-15 min drive makes no odds to me. Sounds like quite a project, don't mind lending a hand if it means a big track to play on.:thumbsup:

Neil,sounds good to me mate,would you make the track epr one track with different layouts inside it and different surfaces???me and luke would 100% be there to help build the track

Monster track Jelly :woot:
With all the talk in the General section about the Worlds not being held in the UK 'cause there's no dirt tracks, what are the chances of making it dirt only? Or is that a nightmare to maintain? Just thinking of the future possibilities....:thumbsup: |

I AGREEE MAKE IT A DIRT TRACK!!!!!! |
Sounds like a good idea...
I like the idea of astro, the location is almost secondary, but still good for me. :thumbsup: |
The extra drive for a massive track (you can dig) is no problem at all. :)
|
Got a nice unit for an indoor dirt track..... locally too.... 7500sq foot.... just worried about the £50k pa running costs....:yawn:
|
LOL,
that would be a big hike in membership fees to cover that!!!! Doing the lottery this w/e?!! |
Met the land owner today.... so, who wants to take a look at the proposed site.
Firstly is HUGE, 45 acres of mix woodland and grassed area. My main concern in security, or rather lack off. Think there is a play off between size of space and knowing most of the kit is still in place when you need it! |
I'd be up for a look too...
(although I do still like the current grass set up).. Security could be an issue, also what about crosser bikes etc? |
Crosser bikes?
