Loving the grass idea - having been privileged enough to have tried out many of Burys different tracks over the years, I must say that the current track although all one surface is infinitely better than the last purpose built one- yes a few changes could be made here and there but essentially you have a first class facility. From a personal perspective I would love to see more grass tracks - perhaps re- profile the table top that's in the wrong place and cover in grass and add some other areas of grass which can easily be skipped out in bad weather etc. With very little funds you could make the track better than anyone else's not trying to copy them - be your own club ( bury was certainly always that ). I look forward to a return to real outdoor racing as opposed to outdoor carpet racing with added lumps bumps and jumps.
Bury is my local club and I would love to go outdoor racing again but three things are preventing me from doing this
1 - racing is timed poorly and takes up a full day when half a day is all that's required ( the rest of the day can then be family time)
2 - why on earth would I want to race on carpet outdoors ( yes I mean astro turf)?
3 - most persons that take part in our hobby are also Motorsport fans and you seem to have a knack of clashing with the f1 which, with me now having to pay for the privilege to watch I certainly am not going to miss it
If you have the funds my suggested priority is addressing the lack of shelter on the rostrum.
I'm not currently a member but I am happy to help set up if you go down the grass route
Darren.
