You wont have to wait too long as the clay will be delivered tomorrow mid-day (fingers crossed)

Personally ive never raced on clay but i cant wait either! Ill give out the postcode closer to completion but it is inbetween Heathrow (jct 2 of M4) and Uxbridge (jct 1 of M40)

Hopefully with the clay being delivered tomorrow, me and my trusty spade should have it all spread, laid and drivable by the middle/end of March.

Nights/Days are still not decided and i will run a vote on what days are best, but ATM im feeling: One Full day over the weekend for practise days and One evening during the week for racing.

Got down to the track for a few hours after work today to start laying down the Tarp which the clay will be layed on.
Also as you can see i have started playing around with the tubing (which i will have to lift tomorrow ) for a layout.
Also got the boards fixed to the wall which will be included in the track as two wall rides, i may however change one of them to a better idea i have in my head.
*as a note, the crossover is currently sitting 14" from the floor, i hope thats high enough! and the ply is just laid ontop not very neatly just so i can get a better view/idea. The ply will change to see through material though

p.s. if anyone has any free banners of any companies (be your own comapny or a manufactor) they want rid of, feel free to send them my way

Hard, hard day's graft today

Got 18tons of a clay mix delivered today for free (even though i personally think it was more!) **Thanks Snowey**


Then i decided a shovel wouldn't do, so i blagged a free digger for the weekend (my dad said he would have nothing to do with it, but once the digger arrived i couldnt get him off it for hours!


After a good few hours, learning how to use a digger and running into stuff we started shifting it around.

Ill be there allday tomorrow to fully move it and maybe start compacting the clay



Any questions? lol

[TARTMAN]

go you, and all dads like toys as much as we do lol.......

looking good mate, west london is my old stomping ground. Looking forward to trying the track. i am a 10th off rd man, but may be tempted to get a smaller scale if the need arises for your track, but will give the 10th a go 1st.

[racingdwarf]

think you maybe shocked at how far 18T will not go......mini digger wins over shovel every time

Yeah, i knew it would be the case, he has always wanted to drive one. Im still undecided on weather it will be too big or too small for 1/10th but my feelings are that they can get around there and be fine.

yeah i know, i was looking at it thinking, fuck me thats alot, but now im starting to think i may need a bit more, but i should know by end of sunday.

Mini digger was always planned but not this early in the stage, i mainly had to get it in for today because the delivery driver dropped a good few tonnes outside the shutter and i needed to get it in so i could lock the unit up.

Need to get a compactor in during the week. To start to actually see where i stand.

More pictures and maybe a video tomorrow will be there from 8am till around 3pm so should have it all spread. But for now im le tired

I must say I think you're doing a great job of this and it's clear to see a lot of hard work has gone into it, nice one!

Thank you for your kind words. Hopefully enough people attend to make it worth while.

Got down there today and got all the clay shifted



Then i started to mock out the layout for the jumps. The jumps will be bigger its just so i can figure it all out for now

[TARTMAN]

Looking good mate. I might get myself a mini 8 just for this tack.... there the right thing i take it?

[Snowey]

Good Work, well done!

[jim76]

Your choice would be a Losi mini 8ight, a Carisma GT14b or a LRP Shark all work really well and i personally have a LRP.

Is there anyway you can put this place on wheels and make it mobile. Move it towards, Oh, I dunno, the Northants area just for example.

Looks like it's going to be an awesome little venue. Great work.

[martgifford]

These give me inspiration to build my own track. Looks great fun

Dont do it, it will melt your brain.

Started compacting the clay last night and boy is that going to take longer to do than i predicted (however the big 'feature jump' work well with my 1/16th and 1/10th). I will however get down there weds night to go again
