Default Dirt track

Hi all,

I want to build a dirt track @ LM Raceway, First of all, who knows where i can find some red clay? by the lorry load?

Also who wants to help build it? either via investment or help?

Lee

im thinking hopefully cactus size.

i will get in touch with oly.

Covering well thats a prob, but maybe with investment from external sources and we can get it going.... it would have to house 8th aswell...as the lack of interest in the tracvk i have is quite annoying! so maybe a 10th only just doesnt cut it anymore! :-(

it wouldnt have to be fully enclosed i guess? just a roof on it to shelter the rain and whatever else we get in this country..
im sure we have enough people interested in this as it would the the only one of its kind in the UK.
Maybe if we have enough interested in putting there hand in there pockets and then come to some sort of arrangement that they can come up for free practice for 6 months or so for the financial input they put in ??

maybe get some quotes together Lee and we can get are heads together..

We had a quote for putting a vinyl or something roof on our quad at work which is about the size of an 10th track, maybe a bitter smaller, it was about 35k i think. But anyway im there to help.
