Default NEAM regional - Track Poll

We have now had 2 reviews of the venue.
There are so many options we can do with the area, that we'd like to know what you as racers would like to see.

Please review the videos below, and vote once in the poll. We are uploading as many videos and pictures as possible tonight, to try and portray the options.

Please, NE racers only, though comments welcome from other Ooplers!

We will be track building proper Friday, so the earlier you can get there to help, the better, and you'll be able to see what the venue is like in person, as it is difficult to portray on a computer screen.

The options are:

1) Use the Tarmac sweeper, grass infield and straight, and small sections of the dirt running track. (purpose built rostrum will be on the grass away from the tarmac sweeper), with wooden jumps / table tops.

2) Flat grass track with wooden jumps / table tops


Please be patient, Greg Williams, Dex, and Jeff are going to upload some representitive videos.

Looks mint I voted for using the banked corner etc instead of the normal style track but looks like a great venue for a race

Love the idea of the banked sweeper, but also think it will eat tyres!

Voted flat grass track

Hope that grass can come down nice and short. You guys got a ride on?

The council are coming to cut it first then we have hired a lawn mower to finish it off!
We were thinking if we did run the banking we would have it so you were accelerating on the grass then just straight along the banking then off onto grass for braking into a corner to minimise tyre wear..

I must admit I was a bit worried about it too but it looks awesome when you see a car going around at full speed!!

Chris it's obvious from how you've worded the poll that you want to use the tarmac and the dirt sections. In fact I think this is the sole reason we're using this venue.

I don't remember anyone wanting to race here when we voted 6 months back, I remember everyone wanted to race at Bents park.

For years we've been racing at bents park and everyone likes it. I can't remember anyone complaining about it. Yet we've moved for no good reason other than 'you' wanted to.

So why don't you get off the fence and make a decision for F**Ks sake.

What are you scared of? You can never ever please everyone. Do what you want and if anyone complains, take their coments on board and move forward.

It's what us adults do.................!
