Ignoring the logistics of moving the track kit, I'd quite like it to stay in our usual FRCC venue anyway - the hall size (hence track size), pitting space, etc all give character and identity IYSWIM.

It would preserve the fact our two Scottish indoor autumn biggies - West Coast Open being the other (apols it there are others I'm not aware of) - have quite different characters, which I think is a good thing.

I had looked into getting another hall which was at an initial cost of nearly £500 for 10 hours. When I told them it was a charity meeting that got reduced to around £200 for the same 10 hours.

The hall that FRCC uses & has used for around 17 years is unbeatable value for money plus I can get access to the hall pretty much when I require. Yes the hall isn't huge but it is pretty big, there is still more pit space available if it's required.

The other issue with other halls is getting in early enough as most don't open till 9am on a Sunday.

So, we're staying put.
Good thing about that is that you already know what your upper limit is for entries. Can you handle 60 per class?

Better get my entry in now!

In the early 90s I used to race touring cars. Once a year we had a big meeting of 60 plus . We used a farm building instead of a hall these building are massive I'm not thinking farm yard style with hay and stuff , think more area 51 . There must be bags of big buildings in your area , we could even hold it in a public arena , shopping malls , warehouses , ect.

In Callendar Park Falkirk , they used to have a Spring Fling and every year we ran outdoors .

Sadly the council pulled the plug on the Fling and we never returned.

The councils allways have the final say , they can be good or c...s.
