Default Project: Astro Track Build

I'll use this thread to update the club progress

Looking to start this in January after the Christmas break. First thing we need is a digger with tracks for some clearance works (bushes and small trees) and then to make some features etc.

Anybody local got a digger lurking around??

Default no digger.

I might know a man thou for a digger. let me make some enquirees.....

Call me in the week and we can sort stuff.

also, I think the club/committee/racers should put forward any track plans and ideas and we will take them on board and make a rack we all want!

Just a quickie, why dont we get everyone to draw up some track designs, possibly have another meet up to decide what we can do with all the different ideas.

Hi guys,are we going to ask people for there thoughts on the new track??plus what people want in a track and don't want to see in the track.possible if people have ideas they can post on here or email them to neil to get the new track running early in the year.
I personally think that we should have a track like epr so we can run different layouts just by moving gutting around.

Yes Chris.

Before a digger gets it's key turned a full consult will be had with all members and interested people into the design and layout of the new track. It's a track for the racers, but racers so that's the way it has to be.

The track will be multiple course so we can switch ways/rotations etc weekly with easy

Hope that alays any fears.

Neil
