Just a quick update. A few of us went over there the other night cutting the grass, got about 2/3 of the way round before it chucked it down! lol

The track is about 35m wide an 40m deep. next time we go over we're gonna get some pics on here to show the size of it.

James at this very min is off to pick up a shed load of half round guttering for the track.

We're planning on going over there saterday, if anyone would like to help out or even just pop over for a look/chat, your more than welcome.

Hello, I live in Skipton and am looking to come back to 1/10 off road after a long time off. Used to go to Harrogate club but nothing local enough now so a club in Keighley would be ideal. I go back to something called the craven model car club which was a good club in the 80's with lots of members. Let me know at what stage the planning is and I might have to open my wallet and spend some cash on a new car then turn up and destroy it. Double cost as 11 year old son is wanting to race too. Im an electrician if my skills would help with any setting up then please ask. Cheers Trevpotter

The area is large enough for a nice sized track with plenty of pitting space. Im posting this to see how much interest we have from racers in this area. Our local club 10electric has round 10 members that have shown an interest in racing. We require people to help set this up and help run it. If you are interested please post or send me a pm. If we can get enough people interested we will go for it!

Im a bit worried as James keeps referring to the mower as "she"! I hope he's willing to let others have a go with "her"! lol
