how big are tracks like southport, bury metro, CML Raceway and Kidderminster? (floorspace width and length)

how high is the 'top' of the rostrums at those venues?

how much 'inside' space would be needed for a full national pitting (just inside pitting space, no tents or cars)?

if I think of some more I will add to the list... :p

any help would be appriciated

The straight at Southport is over 50m long, and the width of the entire track is probably around 20m.

The top of the rostrum...do you mean the roof? That must be about 15ft high at Southport, with the "floor" of the rostrum being around 7ft from the ground (although the council say the rostrum should be 2ft taller)

Inside space for pitting? no idea. I suppose an area of 400 square metres would be plenty - giving reasonable space for benches and walkways. I am sure there are H&S issues to be taken into consideration with indoor pitting.

Got a big garden Doughty? :p I'll see if my manager can do you a deal on roofing materials if you're thinking about it :D ;)

Pretty sure Paul has a cad drawing of Kiddy, he must have the dimensions :)
