Default ramps

Is there any danger of having some new ramps made for friday nights and the indoor champ?

I'm going to take the broken small ramps home after racing next week and repair them in time for Sunday. Only having 2 small ramps for off-road last week was pretty poor to be honest and really limited our track options. We need to keep it interesting to keep people coming back on a club night.

The shed needs clearing before we can fit any more in though. It's completely full now that the MROD and old carpets are in there.

And then of course someone needs to volunteer to make them... I'm OK to spend a couple of hours fixing what we have but I just don't have the time to make a load of new ramps now that Lewis is with us.

if we could get some of the flat sheets out of the shed friday night, we could use some dead space and make an off road area, could do with a track design which benefits all users.

also if the off road is too fancy with jumps & mats etc then whomever is left to pack away aint too happy. maybe put off road stuff away as soon as the last off road race has finished ( if possible) maybe pause racing just so we can clear the smaller items out of the way..

I agree Dave, there is a lack of help on a friday night for the jumps putting out and away! its seems we start later and later! if everyone helped, it would be so much quicker....

Exactly Dave, that's what we always used to do. The off-road heats are on first so that we can do this. It's only fair that those of us using the ramps should get them out & put them away again. Then the other regulars can pack the main track away after the last round has finished.

No volunteers to make some more ramps than...? Strange that.

If i were to make some ramps 2.5 meters wide but hinged the supports so they could store flat would that be ok.

that would be great but would not fit in the shed whereas 1.25mtr wide might be better for storage

I would offer to help, but I have a few small issues;

I live in a different city
I have no transport
When I am back in Nottingham, I will be stripping the Ibiza more
Also when Im not stipping the Ibiza I should be doing work for something called a degree, I think

So I'll take the small ramps home after racing this week to fix them. Any offers of help transferring them from the shed into the car (the Picasso, NOT my S3...) would be much appreciated. Once we get a container installed at the Rugby Club we can shift the MROD into it for outdoor use only and then free-up the space for whatever indoor ramps you guys construct.

Will be looking for container options / prices this week.
