Default Lebury Buggy Track

Prior to the Mid-west regional the Ledbury club are looking at doing some work to the 1/10 buggy track.
Are there any Current features that you mid west racers don't like on the track and any we can add to make it a good off road grass track.
Looking at using astro on the jumps to keep them in good condition and from wear and tare.
We are hoping to do this on saturdays over the next couple of months weather permitting. Will post dates on hear to confirm and hopefully if youre bored you could lend a hand

The only thing i would change is the two doubles off the slab section. Maybe make them into a tabletop or bigger double that is more consistent lap after lap.
Love the bombhole, get rid of the wood in there and have it as just a dirt hole! Oh, any way a drain could be put from there into the gulley by the track too, incase we get our usual heatwave of a summer,LOL.

Those two little humps are hopefully going to be turned into something larger. Not sure what at the moment. Ideal double as it will be in front of the rostrum with a long landing ramp.
Wood has been removed from the bomb hole.
Drainage isn't a problem at Ledbury due to the sandy mud.
The Nitro track has some really good features added to it in the last month.

I personally hate the dust bowl, I much rather see grass and astro.

Bring the banked corner about 10 foot further up, this will allow the corner to be propely banked and longer.

Where can we get Astro from. Does get very dusty and hard for the grass to grow back in there.
Will try to improve the bank corner as well.
All depends on weather and helpers.

Hey New to the site, run with the ledbury club.
We are looking to change the two small humps into a largish double jump and after everything is running smoothly look into astroturfing the jumps but leave the bombhole as dirt.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Also acknowledged the banked corner will be built up more at some stage

thanks
