Nope, it's already there.

P.S. Updated the link to show all the clubs in one go. It was limited to 10 at a time before.

This is a great idea Colin - well done mate (and Mugen for already having done it b4! :p)

There are two more I know of, but one is currently out of action - the old track at Eden near Carrickfergus (which I am hopefully going to approach the council about reopening if the demand is shown)

and there is another one, privately built near Parkgate. I know nothing about this but I have a contact number for the guy that owns it.

As I heard it, he had some land, didnt know what to do with it, so built an off-road RC track!?
You can see the track on StreetView
Type Loughanmore Road into google maps, then zoom in 1 step, find where the Burnside Road joins it and go into street view there. The track is right opposite the Burnside Rd. junction.

Does anyone know anything about this track?

If you (re)build it, they will come (maybe)....

This?

The only way would be to drop in and visit. Bring the Cat along for a test, too!

Edit: He's advertising! In Yell.com too!

Thats the one!
Id be more than happy to do an explore one of these nights or weekends if he is open.

Has anyone heard of this, or raced it yet?

I wonder if its suitable for 1/10th?
On Google, you can see what looks to be some earthworks and tyre walls, but it looks more like a karting track size if that is the track Im looking at. Not sure.

The sign says 'Radio Controlled'. Give him a call on the mobile number on Yell. I found that when I searched for 'GJDK Templepatrick Antrim'.
