Changes to Oswestry Radio Car Club Track

[neiloliver]

We have been doing some work at the track to improve the corner at the end of the straight. The wooden boards are being replaced by a taller breeze block wall which will support a banked curve. We have also dug a footing for a wall between the main straight and the lighting pole, which will allow us to build a raised section similar to that at Kidi. All changes will be completed by the start of April when we go back outside to race...

Looks good. Is that track going to be the national track or is that grass one like usual?

I'd think they're going to use them to create the basic shape of the rasied areas. I've seen it done before somewhere, but can't remember where exactly.

Might be wrong though, it has been know.

[ashleyb4]

We are using them to build up the basis of the jump like phil said i think neil said coventry used this princaple.

Lats night we moved the majority of the big pile of soil up the track onto the back corner well now ther big pile of soil is back! i asked a man with a JCB to dump us 3 buckets full down there for us so its almost as big as it was last night

I also took some rubble my mum dug out of our front garden and put it in the tyres on the big center jump.

I have the use of a tipper from work.

So Nick is going to sort out the hardcore from the near by quarry and were going to dump aload in the middle of the track - well in the middle of the new table type top.

This should happen before Thursday next week.

Can we drive our cars on the track after each day of racing has finished please

[neiloliver]

50 more tyres were being delivered this afternoon.

Ash, If a man in a pub offers you more soil, "just say no"

[ashleyb4]

Got more done tonight we now have a big bump in the middle all we need to do now is sort out up ramps and stone as astro.
