I'd love to go back to finish it off but I don't know when I'll be getting a free weekend. Ive been on holiday this week so it was fine but I'm a bit short of time from now on.

Is there going to be a roof on the rostrum?

With all this sun and wind ??
The windmills are going to be built first, then the electrickery they produce will pay for a roof.

I have offers to build anything you need and can help with some of the timber costs I have been a carpenter for over 8 years. I have all the kit needed I would lay out softwood decking for the floor allowing for water drainage. The roof can be done the same as Southport's, easy weekends work.

Good to see you went with my idea for the rostrumlooks great I am going down tommorow and I will measure up to see if I have enough timber for you not sure yet because it looks huge

just had a play at goshen rostrum is ace sand is a killer tho all three of us did in our spurs and few other bitsyour going to need a serious hoover to get it ready to race on but on the plus side jumps where great and the track looks like it will be very technical lots of possibilities for track lay out and a really good size to. very fast track with loads of grip can not wait to race on it proper. Rog I dont think I have enough timber to do the size of the rostrum but your welcome to the amount that I have got

What's really needed now is the skirting around the edge it's so easy to do and measure up and will reduce cars being written off on the posts


As for the floor being catapulted off I mean the top of the crates pops if you stand in the wong place lol

The flooring is for two reasons:

1) Because it gets very noisy underneath and Rog can't hear! Likewise anyone operating in the storage cabin gets deafened.

2) Without some really good rain protection, that rostrum is going to get wet, and when it does it will be very slippery. Even a roof won't completely prevent a wet floor.

If we put a roof on we'll have the same issue with the local scum giving then a place to get drunk and sleep under again!

Looks like it's almost there, am really looking forward to racing on it.

I reckon for the fence post protection, it will be a case of nailing some plywood about a foot wide, either to the whole inside of that fence, or at least the main straight, I think Southport have something similar on the outside of their track at the end of their main straight, I know cause I have clattered it a fair few times, and not once has it broken my car.

One other thing, you may not agree but I'm wondering if the rostrum might be better a metre or so back from the track to help with visibility. I've noticed on tracks where the rostrum is very close that there are issues with other drivers and their transmitters obstructing views of some drivers. Just a thought...
