Definitely, for me as a family guy (in more ways than one!!!) then a 'pass' for an evening's racing during the week is way easier to achieve than a full day at the weekend away from the family?

If it was properly sized then yes, sounds awesome! Too small, then NO!

I'd come to play sounds good but again depends on size/how far it is to travel.......

Mean when we did the EMMA other year that was good enough for 1/8th indoor even if some ppl didnt like it.

But bigger would be so much better & setup for carpet or Astro would be even better.

Default 8th scale

I would definately be interested in attending.

I know of at least one other guy who would be a regular.

Cheers Drew

If its Bicester, its a fair trek for me. But id travel for it if there was a descent sized meeting going on especially if I could do it without using holidays from work. If there was an annual lengthy USA style event id enter that too depending on holiday availability at work. A track like you mention the country needs, shame I am not local to support it regular if it was to happen.

I think the answer to this question is going to be yes from everyone..?

Its the details that'll make peoples mind up, got any further info? Where will it be and what are the dimensions of the building, has it got open sides or ventilation and lighting?

They tried this at newark showground, did you go to it? I think Lee did.

Apart from that, uhm yes

In answer to some of the questions.

It would be large.
It would have lighting.
It would have good ventilation
Keeping it warm may be a problem in winter.


still looking to see what interest there is





not just for 1/8th but 1/10th as well.

over to you Tony

Yes at least it shouldn't get cancelled because of the variable British weather.

Weekdays might be an issue so I'll have to get creative with the planner at work but I'd travel at weekends especially in winter if racing was guaranteed.
