The new look Batley Buggy Club track

[Haldenby81]

Well as you all know and can see from previous posts, over the past few months we have been working hard to transform the outdoor track and bring everyone somewhere up to date, the track committee as been hard at saurcing the things we needed, and we have had plenty of help getting the track to were it is now, we would like to thank everyone that as lent an hand along the way, it is very much appreciated and it as helped to get the track ready a lot quicker ... altho the place is 98% done, Today 26/04/2015 marks a new day for the club, now let's get everyone talking about Batley Buggy Club for all the right reasons :thumbs up:



The new looking track then got a little bit of use in the sun for some track layout finding.
If the video works :-/



Please watch the clubs page and Facebook page for up and coming race dates and other information regarding the club

This is the new batley

[Ashlandchris]

Superb effort chaps (and chappesses).
Didn't know there was a work party today or could have come down for a few hours this morning.

Track looks brilliant. Well done all

[neallewis]

Awesome, can't wait for the maiden meeting
I expect it will be a busy one

[Aire valley]

Just want to say a "big thank you" to all those who have helped create this great looking new track..
Particularly Ian and Danny, who seem to have been the driving forces , ably assisted by the likes of James and John .....very well done to you all...!
Unfortunately I have been out of action the past three or four weeks due to an eye operation but hope to be able to sample the results of your efforts soon.
I particularly like the look of the new centre section and almost unlimited variety of potential layouts..
Let us hope that this will attract lots of support for Batleys meetings..

Gents, the work you done to put some life into the old track is brilliant. Hats off to you all.

Now when is the first meeting going to happen, I.e. Use the new surface and layouts in anger.

[neallewis]

Hopefully the first meeting will be on Sunday 31st weather permitting.

Oscar should confirm.

[Hyperstrada]

Looks great guys, well done! Looking forward to the regionals this year :-)

[PaulFarrand]

Sunday 31st, do you mean the 3rd. Otherwise that's a full month...

[neallewis]

Sorry looked at wrong month in calendar on phone... Sunday 3rd.

Looking good! A lot of us were dreading batley again this year, but now, when is the first meeting !

Top job guys!

[Ashlandchris]

Just had a 20 min play while son at swimming lesson. Track is superb - even with bald tyres on my "messing about" bmax2 the grip was great. Track was damp from earlier rain but was still plenty of grip and superb to drive on.
Roll on the outdoor season.
There were a few smashed beer bottles so I cleared them. Well, you don't want a puncture now do you?

[Aire valley]

Smashed beer bottles....😱...never mind your tyres, we don't want the astro getting cut up...!
Anything to be gained by fencing off the track and,possibly, gating the rostrum..?

[Haldenby81]

Glad you enjoyed ash you are the first to run on it damp so feed back is good :thumbs up: and thank you for cleaning up the glass

A fence and gate are on the list of next jobs to be done :thumbs up: altho I suspect there will still be the idiots that throw stuff onto the track

Quite!!
I removed 2 pringle tubes, the broken glass, approx. 6 carling cans and a plastic cider bottle before I started. Interesting place to have a party...

It is a sad fact that there will always be those who don't respect other peoples stuff. While I was there tonight there were 3 cars belonging to parents of swimmers at the 6-7 session that were broken into while in the car park and stuff stolen.

[James]

Awesome job guys

[NeilRalph77]

The track was once fenced by all accounts until someone nicked the fence. So may need a little more thought than just wood and nails.
