Spring league
Did that get your attention?
Just to get your juices going - here are the results from 5th Feb. Anyone got some ideas for additional track obstacles? |

I'm not so sure about any more obstacles tbh, gotta be careful not to detract from the racing too much. I did like that new little ramp tho (after the block of wood was taken out), lol.
Just a thought on track layout tho... We have two ramps, why not arrange them as a ramp to ramp fly-over? i.e. Track comes back through the gap under the fly-over?? |

Remind me not to Marshall anywhere near this point. An up and over with cars driving below. Wallets at the ready. lol....

New little ramp
that was a piece of facia (as in the bit near a house roof) I found - does anyone know a builder that could supply us with bits of off cuts?

Personally I like the obstacles.
We can only use carpet now (no more bare wooden floor, as we were causing damage to it) so I think some small obstacles are a good way to give more of an offroad feel to an essentially onroad track. I see them as part of the racing, not a detraction from it and I also think they act as a bit of a 'leveller' between the top and lower drivers. Good idea about the facing ramps, but we may need to add a board between them if we have cars going underneath(?) Not all our drivers have cars with the oomph to clear a 2 metre gap. |

Fair points.
How about a 'ring of fire' too between the ramps? Would you Marshall that Jimbob? |

Ring of fire, eh?... sounds like another curry night is due

A ring of fire sounds great. If I have another night like Wednesday though I would be on fire. And that isn't a complement to my driving.

An up and over does sound fun though.

Can anybody get some Lino? If we can get some, this will add another surface.

I've took a look at floor lino and we're talking £5.00 sqm so we'd be talking quite a bit of money just for one strip.
With regards to the obstacles, the last week or so the track was hard work in my opinion and I think it was because the jumps and humps were spread all around the track rather than concentrated on only on a few corners etc. There were no sections where you could relax, you needed 100% attention all of the time, and I suppose if you took your eye of the ball at the wrong time you really did pay for it. I can certainly understand why some people don't want more obstacles as it could turn on to an obstacle course rather than a race track. I don't care how hard it is to race, but we've just got to get the balance right for everyones ability. See you all Wednesday. |
