If we build one, would you come?

Plans are being developed now for a potential new off-road track at the Eastwoodbury Lane venue in Southend on Sea. The track would be sited next to the current tarmac track (the old dirt track location)

Due to local constraints, the track will be aimed at 10th scale electric and likely be on an Astro Turf surface,

The real question here is, is there a need for another off-road track in the South East?
We are at the planning stages with this so any comments or suggestions are welcome.

I'd certainly be up to having a go, bit far for it to be a weekly thing for me though.

Thanks chaps for your feedback. As I expected, the clear answer is, if we do it right and build a venue that is correct for the section, people will come to race. This goes for any section always.

I've been looking at other clubs pictures here and on FB and I've seen some excellent tracks for sure.
We have something to aim for and I'm sure that with the depth of personnel at the Southend club we can do a great job. After all, the club started out as one of the biggest and best in the UK and what we have done at EWS proves we know what is needed.

I'll post updates here as we go.
Happy New Year everyone.

No excuses about being closer.The track is literally at the end of Southend airports runway.You could get off the plane and be at the track in five minutes
