Default Indoor Clay Track in Bicester?

Anybody have any information about an indoor clay track at the old Leyton House F1 unit in Telford Road, Bicester? .............. I've been told that there is going to be a track there and they are going to be running meetings on a Wednesday evening ......... sorry if there's already been a post before about it but I haven't been on here in a while so i might be behind the times ............ any info?

Hi all...Well yes this is the Proline Dirt Arena, Created by the Trumans and myselfy for your racing pleasure!!!!

Let me tell you a few things about this venue!

USA style dirt indoor clay track.
Full Indoor pitting and electric on site
On Site Shop
On Site food
Vast Parking
Fully Backed by CML and Proline USA to try to bring you the things RC dreams are made of!!!

Could this be the thing that the UK has been waiting for?

The Tracks sculptured now and it looks amazing.... we will be holding weekly events and most likely Saturday race meetings...more info TBA.

Well everyone...what do you think??

Lee

Would love to see the pictures Lee!

I think it's an amazing project and all power to you all for pulling it off!

I'll be along as regularly as I can. One question is about the surface, what sort of dirt have you got and can you give me a tire recomendation (guessing a proline something).

How about a summer Micro meeting? Would love to give the ST a blast on a dirt track! Could you make a smooth enough track with scaled jumps?

If so, count me in for a one-off meeting
