Default New track build blog...

Hi all,

Just to let you know I've put together a blog page on our website showing the progress made to the track as we build it!

***CLICKY***

Lots of pics and a bit of detail as to what we've been doing since the very beginning, hopefully to keep you all interested in coming and racing once it's finished!!!

Enjoy

Your keen Andy.
Should of been with us at Yatton. Lovely sunshine all day.
That corner does look better but will anybody go that high there to use the banking.

lol...I was keen...on being outside in the sunshine!!! Not stuck in a warehouse hiding from it

No offence to the Yatton club of course...it was just that I've done a lot of racing lately, so a lie in and an afternoon in the sun pottering around at the track was quite appealing!

Rych...I do love your positive input...sadly my lines aren't always as tidy as yours...so I suspect I'll be making more use of that bank...I might even use it just because I put it there! hehe

My thoughts on that bank are that is a good place to put any unused materials...so I suspect that it's not as big as it will be once we've finished and cleaned off the rest of the track...it would be nice if it could reach all the way to the apex...but I'm not bothered if it doesn't, it'll evolve as we finish the track...and when we reverse the direction of the track you may find it gets more use...better that than end up flying off into the railway fence from an off camber corner like we had before!
