First of all - A BIG Well done the the Broxtowe club for putting on a first class event. To say the track was their first 'go' at indoor off road it was very good, if not excellent. #
Puts quite a few more established clubs to shame.

The meeting was well run and the use of space was spot on.

My only niggle would be the 2nd ramp after the hairpin, it could do with being shallower. Another possibility which I mentioned to Alan was to maybe use rolled up carpet underneath the carpet to create a series of jumps (Maybe 2 doubles). Using a flexible piece of wood under the carpet is usually enough to give a good ramp effect. Also it keeps the height of the cars down and puts more emphasis on rythmn.

The crossover was ace. Easy to see through and a challenge to get right and fast. OK the mat afterwards was a bit of a springboard. But you didn't have to jump that far, landing on the downslope of the crossover was much quicker...

TBH: Well impressed with the layout and meeting in general, I'll be back for sure.
