Temptation.................... it's an evil thing!!!

Seriously though best of luck Kev, that will be great for everyone around this area - Look forward to seeing what you all do with it.

Hopefully I can get up and help at times and Lee may even let me use an old Tamiya (as long as it's a proper one, not an old Big Wig or something) :D

Best of luck though, great location too up there!

Which day/s + what time do you plan holding races? :)

[lewise]

The track is going to be a permanent facility, we are looking at race meets on a Wednesday night, and Sunday once a month, may be more, then practice time will probabley be via booking weekdays 12 to late and Saturdays, all times to be worked out but that is the general plan.

Looks brilliant, great news to have a track in this area. I have to drive over an hour at present to find a club night. It will also be perfect to help junior racers into the sport being able to practice on the Saturday.

Count me in:thumbsup:

As discussed with Kevin I will be popping down tomorrow early for a quick run and shake down of my newly rebuilt RB5 SP2 WC Vega.
Just need to finish it tonight.

Will only stay for a couple of hours.

If I can help in anyway just ask.

Best of luck guys, it looks fantastic:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:!!

[lewise]

Look forward in seeing you.

Had a brilliant day today testing the new track, there was about 30 drivers and the feedback is that everyone had a great time, we are going to open again tomorrow as the weather looks like heavy rain so if you want to come along for some indoor racing then we will be open for timed practice 10.30 to 4
