The committee was going to buy in tables to use in the pits
But it has been decided to build the table so in keeping with the
Maritime Raceway style

Hi guys

The work done so far looks great, can't wait to come and race offroad leccie style.

On another note if you require another pair of hands, i'm a local builder and more than welcome to come and help in my spare time.

PM me if you require anymore details.

Tom Upson

Ian showed me the new room a few weeks back. The tables were done, and awaiting electric.
Very slightly smaller than the TC track, but will make no difference to the racing, its like 4 metres difference.

Looking like this could be a really good off road venue, and can't wait to get racing there.

With Tommo on the above, currently out of work so more than happy to come along and help out if required.
