were hoping to be up and running in about 3-4 weeks. our chairman is buying a full timming sysytem so you can run pt's. race control and and rostrum should be sorted by the end of this weekend and track outline with jumps sorted. if anyone knows where can get some astro turf from please contact me.

many thanks

Track looks ace! I want to take my B4 around there.

[spenner]

I was hoping that track was for 1/10th, looks awesome!!!!
Is it going to be astroturfed?????? Thought it was clay or some kind of dirt

[emzy]

From the post that Jonesy99 made... sounds like nitro only to me!

[Col]

Where is Bishop Auckland? Close enough to be considered North East? If so, share the wealth and open up to 1/10 electric;)

[emzy]

Yep, its near Durham (the real Durham, not Durham as in where the regionals are... which is actually Washington!). Bit south of Durham...

[damo666]

Its 10 minutes from Durham services heading towards Bishop Auckland.I live west end of Newcastle and it takes me 30mins tops.

What days do 1/10 electric buggy's normally race?

[dave g]

nitro only guys...dont you leccy lads have enough tracks of your own? :)

maybe they will let 1/10th have a go..then we can al come down to batley with the 1/8ths :)

[Col]

Dave, I love that idea! I've wanted to see what they're like for a while now. But you nitro boys must struggle for tracks, due to noise issues?

[dave g]

well noise is obviously a consideration when building a track but theres tons of 1/8th tracks around the uk.

oople open jimmy!!!

[Lee]

Is the track open for practice at all?

I live in durham city so it would be ideal to have a blast round and try some new stuff

[damo666]

Its open this Sunday for a test run.

[Lee]

Will you be allowing 1/10th or is it stricktly 1/8th:(

I quite fancy a go at 1/8th as well but i havent got a clue about what to get:D

[Northy]

So does anyone have a post code or details of how to get there? :confused:

[Lee]

Northy,

A1 J61 head towards spennymoor, you will come to a pub on a roundabout called the thinford, from this round about keep going across roundabouts 5 in all i think its about 3 mile from the thinford. you will see a sign for caravan storage and prepacked coal,on the left its in there on the left handside. if you go past a total garage you have gone too far.

Its VERY VERY impressive, the only thing i would say is the grip looks very low as its very dusty and your car will come off white!!

Some fantastic features though and i am seriously thinking about having a go at rallyx

[jonesy99]

the track is mainly for nitro 1/8 we will be running 1/8 buggy,truggy and monster trucks if people want to race them. we had our first day on it yesterday and it was awesome. was getting more and more grip as the day went on. just wish my rossi 21-5 held and not cooked it self :confused: ...

Now I think about this track though, maybe I was a bit hasty to sell it. :confused:

[dave g]
