Was down there tonight with Graeme and Teddy Truman, well what can i say apart from 10th Off Road is gonna be blessed with one heck of a track!!!!

For anyone that attended Silverstone last year, you can step off the rostrum on to the banked corner!!!!! and it is gonna be bigger as it is on two levels....

There is 2 large table tops and a tripple, very large straight, also plenty of jumps, a large bombhole and some stairs. Multi Surface as there is likely to be a clay corner. Track will be ready for the June 22nd Mid South Regional.

The club have some exciting plans and it is looking good

The work party will be there all day on Saturday, from 8.00am to 5 or 6.00pm! If you want to bring a car down you can as we'll be testing parts of the track and timing the jumps!

Default Work continues

Work today continued, but slowed by showers, on the Silverstone track. More work to define the track layout and jumps etc. Don't forget, we NEED HELP for the work party next Saturday to start laying the astroturf. Bring your wellies and gloves! A few more photos attached. The track will be all astroturf, with a HUGE two level wall ride, plus banked curve at the end of the straight, and several other jumps and steps. More next week!

The new Silverstone website is: WWW.SILVERSTONERCCC.CO.UK.ULTIMAHOSTS.EU
The ultimahosts bit will be dropped next week once everything is confirmed and goes fully live. This is just so you can all see what we've been upto and the sort of thing to expect!!
