The committee was going to buy in tables to use in the pits
But it has been decided to build the table so in keeping with the
Maritime Raceway style

So the boards and wood have been ordered

The club is busy at this time with Carpet Wars this coming weekend and the Off Road Wars meeting the week after.

As soon as there is any more to report I will keep you all poated

Hi guys

The work done so far looks great, can't wait to come and race offroad leccie style.

On another note if you require another pair of hands, i'm a local builder and more than welcome to come and help in my spare time.

PM me if you require anymore details.

Ian showed me the new room a few weeks back. The tables were done, and awaiting electric.
Very slightly smaller than the TC track, but will make no difference to the racing, its like 4 metres difference.

Looking like this could be a really good off road venue, and can't wait to get racing there.

With Tommo on the above, currently out of work so more than happy to come along and help out if required.
