Interesting so far, keep them coming as i want an idea of what the drivers preferences are....

Keep them honest though, we can't have them all up north or darn south so....

To throw a few tracks in the mix that may apply, or look good enough to apply...

Torch
Boughton Raceway (Anglia way)
Holbeach (Eastrax)
Broxtowe (Like the F2's i guess)

Does anyone know if there is a criteria for holding a buggy national...? I know there used to be for TC

Such as;

Car park big enough for x amount of cars

Track big enough throughout

Overnight accommodation available

Food van a must. Etc etc

If there is that might rule a few clubs out

[spenner]

Some things to look at....

Track needs to be minimum of 3mtrs in width all the way round, lap time of around 23 sec min (for the top boys) anything under 21 sec is a no. Jumps etc should not obscure any parts of track.

Pitting area needs to be a min 1 acre, this is tight so no smaller really. Camping is nice, but is not a rule.
Race control - provide somewhere for the BRCA to run the meeting.
Rostrum that can see all parts of the track.
Members...... without these you will struggle to run a meeting of this size.
Toilets
Food and drink..

If you email Paul Worsley he does have a sheet of what is required to hold a national.

[Freakypen]

I'm sure RHR Dirt is a brill venue.
The only hang up I would have about it is that unless you live within a couple of hrs of it you prob won't want to travel 4+ hrs like I'd have to to get any practice on clay.
Gives a BIG advantage to those that can get there- as its the only dirt venue for 1/10 I know of.
At least on the astro track- we all can have a reasonable starting point as we all race on astro all year round.
Just thinking out loud

Another one here for boughton

I might be wrong, but thought that it's a minimum track length rather than minimum lap time? Around 140m around the racing line I believe? Although that number could very likely be wrong!

[spenner]

There is a minimum track length, but no good having 18sec laps when start is 2 sec between... First car will be past car 10 before he even starts.

[blue_pinky]

hahaha...very good point!
