Anybody have any information about an indoor clay track at the old Leyton House F1 unit in Telford Road, Bicester? .............. I've been told that there is going to be a track there and they are going to be running meetings on a Wednesday evening ......... sorry if there's already been a post before about it but I haven't been on here in a while so i might be behind the times ............ any info? ;)

Hi all...Well yes this is the Proline Dirt Arena, Created by the Trumans and myselfy for your racing pleasure!!!!

Let me tell you a few things about this venue!

USA style dirt indoor clay track.
Full Indoor pitting and electric on site
On Site Shop
On Site food
Vast Parking
Fully Backed by CML and Proline USA to try to bring you the things RC dreams are made of!!!

Could this be the thing that the UK has been waiting for?

The Tracks sculptured now and it looks amazing.... we will be holding weekly events and most likely Saturday race meetings...more info TBA.

Well everyone...what do you think??

Would love to see the pictures Lee!

I think it's an amazing project and all power to you all for pulling it off!

I'll be along as regularly as I can. One question is about the surface, what sort of dirt have you got and can you give me a tire recomendation (guessing a proline something).

[David Church]

No question for me!!!! I will be there!!! But when is the first race???:thumbsup:

[Chequered Flag Racing]

if there's a 2 day electric event I'd consider turning up

anyone got a post code/location for google maps?

about there

[markwilliamson2001]

How about a summer Micro meeting? Would love to give the ST a blast on a dirt track! Could you make a smooth enough track with scaled jumps?

If so, count me in for a one-off meeting

[rich67]

Paul

[bondy]

Will you run 1/8 ic there?

18th scale would be ace on any 'American' Dirt track just like this is shaping up to be, don't worry about that.

[pesky badger]

If you need help on a mid-week evening then I might be able to lend a hand :D

[rich_cree]

I've just got back from the arena and it's looking awesome. Tony and Phill have been hard at work, the place looks fantastic! It's definitely convinced me to get back to electrics!

[MK999]

Just after I decide to take a break :( Looks fantastic though, better still be going strong when I come back to racing! :thumbsup:

[Lee Martin]

Thanks for the kind words guys....

The Trumans have done a fantastic job so far and i will be going up there asap to continue helping out...also speaking to many people at cactus and even the americans are excited!!!

[Teddy truman]

[PTRU]

Just a quick thank you to Budgio, Trish and JCJC for there help over the last weeks. First event getting close

[rich_cree]

Some pics from tonight.....

The track drives awesome, loads of grip and great fun. I tried a micro, 2wd, 4wd and J82. They all felt great!!!

[rich_cree]

...some more......

[KevLee]

looking good guys! will be up as soon as its open!

[Teddy truman]

loving that cree :thumbsup:

[ginger fixit]

come on tony give us a clue when can we come and play :thumbsup:


need to get the b4 dirty

[Lee Martin]

I think after the Neo you will see some race days being posted.

We need to finalise a few things and get it as good as possible...then it just needs running on!

Bring it on!

[Southwell]

Looks awesome, well done to all. What tyres are gonna be the kiddies then? Step pins, or are the usual American short tread type tyre going to be sufficient?

[Belsten]

who is that ugly bloke stood 2nd on the left ? :woot:

[Lee Martin]

i think holeshots will be a good tire of choice.

rib fronts...

i think it goes without saying its a PL control tire on race days

[Lee Martin]

Thats rich Barton Bavid.....;-)

[Belsten]

I thought it was you, homo

[GRIFF55]

BAVID!!!!!:lol: I'd forgot that one already:lol:

[Chris Doughty]

Track is very good!

as Cree said, we ragged pretty much every kind of car around it and it was great with them all!

I think Cree got a vid of me on the tow rope behind Lee' J82, for a lap anyway :thumbsup: :woot:

[Lee Martin]

woooooooo the micro did well!!

the vids look cooooool as!!! come on cree!

[rob8246]

PIDA is the future! :thumbsup:

[BagofSkill]

Hi Guys,
I race TC at the moment but once upton a time in a land far far away (no, really) I did a few races on a indoor blue groove clay track and it was great. I bought a XXX which I still have, but the track closed and I haven't raced since.
I'm really excited that this track has been built and can't wait to hear of any race days or practice days that are coming up!

Cheers, Chris.
