NEW Indoor Carpet Track - CORNWALL

[MattV6]

Hi guys this is aimed at anyone who has a 1/10th scale buggy or smaller :)

After a very long process i'm finally opening an indoor carpet track at the end of this month in Cornwall (29th July), roughly 25 mins away from Plymouth. The postcode is PL14 3PU

The track area is 70ft long by 30ft wide and although the track is not 100% finished as of yet it will include wall rides, jumps and a nice 65ft long straight :)

I have a separate pit area if people dont want to work from the back of their cars.

I've got all the timing gear for proper racing. I will update on what transponders work with the system.

The track has now got a Face book page. Please click on the link below and LIKE the page and spread the word :) The link is at the bottom of this page :)

The track will be open every Thursday every week for 52 weeks of the yeat from 7pm to 11pm. There will be heats and finals at the end of each night :)

The FB page is in its early stages but it will be constantly updated over the next few days.

We have parking for 30 to 40 cars and we don't need to be off the site at a certain time as its my unit, the land rules are very slack, just put any litter in the bin :)

The track will be open every Thursday from 7pm till 11pm

Just an update on the track that i forgot to mention in the post above. Although this is an indoor carpet track we also have the opportunity to incorporate a large outdoor section just off of the indoor carpet section that can be clearly seen from the rostrum!

Im my eyes this adds a whole new dimension to the track and offers something different that from my research has not been done by any other club/track! The outdoor will still use carpet as a base but will also have a small grass section (cut very short). It adds a very interesting section to the track that on good weather evenings can be opened!

We are so excited about the track and over the next week i will update the FB page and update on here but thank you to those so far that have shown interest and support!

This dream of mine for a track for everyone is happening, its actually happening!!

Thanks

Matt

The rostrum is being built today and tonight so should be completed for tomorrow eve then the carpet and track is being laid out and the jumps built.

Its going to be a bit of a mission for our opening night this Friday but we are 100% committed at keeping our promise of opening this Friday 1st August

The dream is slowly coming true :)

[MattV6]

For anyone who hasn't seen the FB page we have postponed our opening night until next Friday the 8th of August. This is so we have enough time to get everything sorted properly and not bodged in a rush. All updates are on the FB page :)

Ok a carpet update :)

All the carpet is down, we are fixing it all in place tonight so will be setting out a few layouts over the weekend. All the wood is being bought on Saturday so we can start to build a few of the jumps :)

Hi everyone i am sorry for not updating this thread but with everything thats been going on with the track it leave so little time to keep everything 100% updated between work :confusion:

Anyways i am really pleased to say that the first night of racing went without fault and we are now on our second week with the number still growing :)

Its really been more than i could have ever imagined. The first week we had 8 drivers racing and the 2nd week (last night) we had 13 and going by the other guys that couldnt make it we should have around 15 to 17 next Thursday :)

All the updates can be found at out Face Book page with loads of vids and loads of pictures from each week. It really is an EPIC nights worth of racing and is welcome to anyone who wants to come and race :)
