No plans as yet, but there are some features that I would like to see used (as used at Petit RC last year)

Cross-over tabletop (wire mesh or rope bridge on top)
Slippy surface section (mdf sheets laid down)
A table top or vertical wall with a hairpin on it.
A rough area (lumps under carper or more mdf laid down)

All sounds good.

If we run foams maybe re-think the slippery section.
(But depends on how the foams work.)

So what tyres are everyone using at Naul? Would green mini-spikes work?

[Mugenextreme]

I was using yellow mini spike eda worked fine for me.

a vid with a few ideas for the Naul.

The jumps in that video look awesome really nice and smooth. For a rough section we have a load of uncut door saddles (6ft long) which we lay out across the track staggered with some carpet over it.

We had planned on a crossover with a clear top but never got around to building it. We had been thinking of using a thick clear perspex with a mesh covering to give some grip should you end up driving over it.

Here's a video of the big tabletop at DiR, it's chicken wire table top which works ok but you cant drive over it particularly well as it sags too much.

Hi all,

These dates will be confirmed by the committee within the next week or two. But as there have been no objections, I'd say it is fairly safe to say that these are you championship dates.

Regards,

Will
