What would you like Sir?

[Lee]

What things would you like to see in RC, Better tools, better tyres for uk tracks, better hauler bags/storage.

What things can be refined, would you like stronger losi shock towers or a weak point on your car made bomb proof?

Any ideas:confused:

Id like an indoor clay circuit, with indoor pitting, wireless internet, cafe and model shop on site.

Or, global warming to hurry up. I hate and despise wet weather racing - I can cope with the cold, but wet, nooooooo :cry:

[telboy]

But isn't global warming going to give us more rain?:eh?:

Anyway :lol: I'd like better permenant tracks, some nice dirt ones....Hmmmmmmmm...........

or just some nice perm' track in general.
Indoor clay would be cool. I'm surprised no one made one yet, just like the Neo race track.

i want YORCC to build a perminant outdoor track :thumbsup:

I think even for 1/8th the demand for R/C racing in the UK just isn't quite big enough yet to justify the amount of money it takes to keep it running and get started in the first place :thumbdown:

I suppose the only way it could ever really happen is if a shop was to decide to do it, and as Chris says have a permenant on-site shop - that way members of the public could go along and have a go with a car before they buy etc, and that way people can see what these cars can do!

I hate to think how many people over the years have probably gone into a shop and just bought a car for a bit of fun, driven it up and down the road and got bored before long then thrown it up in the loft without realising they could go and race!

[Lee]

It would definatley have to have a shop on site, but when you think about it a shop would probably not earn enough to pay for a large warehouse with enough room for a BIG track + pitting space and also car parking for 100 cars. Plus if i owned the shop i would also want some sort of profit for sitting there 6 days a week:confused:

There is also the big start up costs as well.

I would do it if i could find the right place, but it would have to be well supported and it would have to be an ace shop from the word go, which also costs money.:thumbdown:

[jim76]

they would obviously get the race entry fees to subsidise it, but still a huge cost to cover

[Lee Martin]

how about 'LMRL'

Cree....you know!!!!!

[Lee]

Pidge, You know that makes sense!!!!


LMRL is the future

[Teddy truman]

no more flat fields as national tracks........

[Lee]

Some clubs dont even have a track yet:confused:

[rich_cree]

how about 'LMRL'

Cree....you know!!!!!

Blyth's available if u wanna go mad and do it... The sites gonna be there forever, centrally located all the essentials are there, pretty much rent free, just need a crack team to develop it :drool: and/or get some grant funding..

[Chris Doughty]

have you ever thought about putting up some kind of barn type sheltered structure over the top of the blyth track and make it a cool covered dirt arena?

[Chris Doughty]

Pidge, You know that makes sense!!!!


LMRL is the future

is that a bit like the JBRL in the US?

[James]

Yeah, researched it before and costed it etc, income would have to come from major races, the trickle of weekly practice sessions wouldnt be enough, but marry it with a shop and a few other things and it becomes more viable obviously..

[Northy]

I wish I live closer James :mad:

[James]

You now have a glorious caravan ;) ... the world is your lobster rodney

[Chris Doughty]

do you know if the only restriction is cost? any other things like planning etc..?

[antnee]

Indoor dirt track would be good :)

How about we all club in buy worksops hall, build a shop at one end (maybe pbm racing), and everyone bring some dirt from your garden?

Indoor touring track would be cool! (if it has had under track heating

It was all going well until your laste sentense... now you deserve to be banned! :p

[Lee]

Yeah how dare you, you had my backing till the TC bit, and then you finished it off with an even gayer line.

Underground Heating:lol::lol::lol::lol:


James i would jump at the chance of blyth track but im even further north than northy:cry:

[Lee Martin]

yeh lee, your a fag now!

[Chris Doughty]

but I bet with a PERMINANT venue like harper adams at that location you would make the trip a few times a year, even from that distance.

[bigred5765]

god i would travel every weekend
especial in winter

[James]

Yeah, just costings, I'm sure we would get plannng on the site, I've put quite alot of applications together for stuff we've built on the farm and never had any probs. You will have all seen the green barns accross the road from the track too - theyre prob close to 30,000 sq ft so theres a precident for planning set close by too..

Still buying lottery tickets....

[Lee]

Im waiting for a quote on a warehouse, ill let you know when i get it through:thumbsup:

[antnee]

I think theres industrial units planned for the silverstone expansion and development :)


I went to PBM on my driving lesson today, now not many people can say that!

While we are on wants, could someone give me a car with insurance, I would be grateful :)
