Nice track, be careful, if you do get some hoses chances are you'll have the lads land down for a "racing" weekend, what a great excuse, I hear Cork is quite the party county :)

Hi all,
Still trying to source heavy duty hosing (oil type) to stop corner cutting. If you know of any place around Dublin that might have some old hosing let me know? Will hopefully try and arange a days racing in October. Electric only day - could do with giving my B4 a run.

Hi Alan,
Most clubs in the Uk are now using agri-irrigation hose. Its easily bent into shape, it's yellow and light. Best of all its really cheap.
It's usually held in place with stakes or large tent begs.

Hi Mick,
I looked at that type hosing but it would need to be pegged down, then every time I need to cut the grass all the pegs would have to be pulled up and pushed down once complete. This would be very time consuming. I was hoping to get the heavy type oil hosing where it would be heavy enough to stay in pace and when the grass needed cutting it could be dragged aside. Thanks for the response.
Regards,
Alan
