No plans as yet, but there are some features that I would like to see used (as used at Petit RC last year)

Cross-over tabletop (wire mesh or rope bridge on top)
Slippy surface section (mdf sheets laid down)
A table top or vertical wall with a hairpin on it.
A rough area (lumps under carper or more mdf laid down)

All sounds good.

If we run foams maybe re-think the slippery section.
(But depends on how the foams work.)

a vid with a few ideas for the Naul.

The jumps in that video look awesome really nice and smooth. For a rough section we have a load of uncut door saddles (6ft long) which we lay out across the track staggered with some carpet over it.

We had planned on a crossover with a clear top but never got around to building it. We had been thinking of using a thick clear perspex with a mesh covering to give some grip should you end up driving over it.

Here's a video of the big tabletop at DiR, it's chicken wire table top which works ok but you cant drive over it particularly well as it sags too much.

Would this be any use to us, I am not really sure what it is but we will lumbar and this could work as a raised section??

[MiCk B.]

yea i would say we could use them

[mini_brian]

I got a reply from that guy with the wooden podium. It is still available and its in Clonskeagh. He said its quite big so a van would be needed.

If its any use, Will could you go and have a look as its near you?

I should be meeting our landlord, James, at the hanger in the Naul at 12 midday on Sunday to get keys etc.

I plan on sweeping, laying out the carpet that is already there and setting up the tent (nowhere else for it to live over the winter!!).

Ivan, Mick B and Tony will be bringing out more carpet and the hoses from Grifeen

The plan for the hoses is to pack Ivan's van after the racing in Taney on Saturday. So any volunteers to pack hoses & track marking?

Sunday: Plan is for Tony & volunteers to pick up carpet from Stilorgan, (Tony will have a van). Then head to Naul. Any volunteers for the carpet?

Everyone else to head to the Naul. We will need to clean the place out before we lay the carpet. So if anyone has a yard / large out door brush, bring it along on Sunday.
