Track prep and alterations
 
Hi all.
We shall be continuing our Saturday afternoon club meets with a slightly shortened layout, whilst we adjust the big double at the back.
It will become a split level table top, which should be more user friendly.

Also we have started extending the length of the track, building a bank which starts at the back and will gradually level off for the start of the straight.

We hope to have the work completed before Xmas, so we can have a couple of winter events before spring.

Any helpers wishing to give us a hand would be greatly appreciated.

Continuing with our improvements for 2018 we've took delivery of 1000 square metres of astro. This will mean the track will now have the same astro throughout and also a flat astro pit area, some of which for the less abled.

We are down track most Saturday afternoons, gonna need some hands once we're ready to lay the astro.

In addition to all of the above, we will also be extending the rostrum. A little more elbow room for the drivers and space for a referee 👍😀

Bit more work done today, removed some of the light green slippy astro and lifted the pipes to make a new rumble section in a different area of the track.

Some other features will be getting adjusted for a preferred track width of 3m.
