Indoor winter racing near Southampton - within an hour and half drive

[The Chef]

I would also love to see an indoor winter venue, as the cold plays hell with my hips that are already shot to bits, it takes me a couple of days to recover after marshalling at a cold event and if it is damp also that's worse. I did support West Berkshire religiously when it was open, I think that it was a bit to small any they tried to open it at the start of the summer outdoor season.

It is a Shane that rent is so expensive down here and the council refuse to give much if any reduction in rates.

Just my 2p worth.

One of the best winter series I've ever attended was at Tiverton, some 6-7 years ago !

It was held indoors in a horse arena and was held on dirt.
It did get cold but you didn't have the biting wind, rain or snow.

Tiverton had to stop using the facilities due to the surface being changed.
A real shame as they used to get 120 drivers a meeting.

I agree that during the winter that if racers don't support the clubs running outdoors over the winter that these clubs may close, but not everyone can or want's to race over these months !
I for one have children that don't, lol

Maybe a indoor type venue could be found and two clubs could club together to save themselves.

Just a thought !!
