It was good to be back indoor's it was like we had not been away just like the old days. I would like to say thank you to all who helped set up and put away at the end. I think eveyone enjoyed it and would be good to do in again maybe a winter series?

Has the surface changed again and now back to dirt?
The old winter series was always great, now where are those proline step pins

The surface hasn't changed back to primarily dirt, still has the shredded tires on it, but there's not much of it left, so we just swept it away and raced on it.

We only raced inside on wim as it was raining so heavily on sunday morning. The surface is now dirt impregnated with chunks of rubber like the marbles on an f1 track. this makes it quite bumpy. I had a chunk of rubber jam my steering in one heat. This was much better after the cars had cleared a line.

Default Short Course on dirt

How good would it be to see these trucks running on the dirt.... would this be a consideration perhaps?

WOW!!!! I really hope your running this again sometime...I've heard nothing but great things about the indoor days at Tiverton, and although I've not managed to be much of a regular down there again this year I'd def be up for some winter racing action in there...

Hoping it wasn't a one off!!!
