[bigchris]

That track looks amazing Paul , can't wait to try it out!

[Allan1875]

Looks amazing guys, brilliant job, can't wait for your outdoor round.

[D20MCK]

that looks great :thumbsup: top work guys.

[Martin Wallace]

brilliant lads, where is the rostrum going, same side as the last picture, opposite the straight yeah?

[KennyClark]

Looks great guys.
Well done.
Look forward to racing on it.

[discothesnake]

Looks cracking. Great job.

[dhann42]

Looks really good Paul canny wait to have a go

[paul whittock]

Thanks for the comments. I was thinking of using the natraul terrain and putting up top above the tlr sign .( The pic at the top of this page). I also thought about building the rostrum where Martin surrgested ...! What the you guys think. I also thought about multi surfaces maybe adding some workshop floor tiles on a corner ... Again I would appreciate some input from you on this. There will some more features added aswell .... Rumble strips, a small table top just before the big 1st jump, anything goes.

[paul whittock]

Sorry for the gramer stupid iPhone . Lol

[paul whittock]

Don't think I will need to order anymore sand to fill the fire buckets :lol:

[discothesnake]

I don't think you should do any more Paul. There's plenty of features there. At least wait until you've had some sort of meeting to see how it goes and take feedback from there.

[Martin Wallace]

Dave


yeah i agree with dave, it looks great as is the now, you can always add later when youve had a few meetings on it to see how it goes,

on the rostrum, you kinda always want it on the opposite side of the fast straight, so you have time to see other cars when your travelling at speed, running a straight under your feet isnt ideal.

the way you have the jumps and so set up, i feel it has to go on the side i suggested paul,

cheers.

[paul whittock]

Yes I agree with you I have tried both sides and it does feel more natraul from the bank side . With the jumps In mind I just feel you have to slow up quite a lot before taking the two big jumps, it might feel better to add a small table top or a feature so it slows you up naturaly . It's a quick track very grippy even in the wet . I could make small table tops that are movable maybe so if it don't work I can just lift them off .

[haggis]

Hi lads, have you got any buggy racing on next week?

I'm up in inverness with work so i could bring the hauler up as well!

[paul whittock]

hi ya the track and club are not officaily open yet but you can come and have a bash if you wish were you thinking off in the week or weekend. ? we could get together with some lads up here and have a crack. this is open to anyone else aswell we might aswell make a day of it .

[haggis]

Ill be working until about 5 or 6 i reckon and be available monday to thursday

Got an sc10 and a 410 so ill bung them in the van!

[paul whittock]

it might be a bit dark by the time you get here your about half an hour to hour depending on the bridge works at the mo

[paul whittock]

A point was raised by some racers due to the fence. Don't worry guys I will make sure it's not a problem there will be protection around the fence :thumbsup:

[Rossco_4]

Hi Paul, I'm planning to come up on Saturday

[jason-l]

I'll be coming up on the Saturday, Paul.

Not really thought about accommodation... was wondering if a collective was camping (tent) by the track, if that's feasible? Otherwise, campsite or B&B I guess. Far too soon for me to be that organised! :lol:

[paul whittock]

Camping next to track would be fine but I don't think you would sleep due to the trains asking you up . Camping is available 300 yards up the road :)

[paul whittock]

Ok confirmed we will be putting on a racers party on Saturday 24th at 7 pm. It will be bring your own bottle, cold snacks and food laid on, dj, and slot car racing. The venue is in bonar bridge hall. See you all there. Party will be open to all .

[orinoco]

Excellent, looking forward to it Paul. I'm coming back down from holidays in Orkney on Sat 27th July, will there be anyone at the track that day?

[paul whittock]
