SO THE NEW HALL LOOKS GOOD
big and warm, perfect for winter.space to pit ect ect but we need carpet or we are a off road drift club.
i have raced at few carpet clubs and they all use simaler carpet density and texture/surface. but not always the same type. i no some of this is well expensive ( ribble valley paid 1000 for a simaler size space) but that was brand new and possibly included permanant fitting to the floor. but they have recently moved location and i havent managed to get over and race yet. but its supposed to be a big venue. so they might be useful to ask about what type to use.
rossendale mods club was using a slighty differant type of carpet which worked fine to. but this was in large pieces ( some looked like off cuts)
that we taped together with duck tape and pulled up after. but i dont think this cost 1000 so probly what we need:thumbsup:
any way i used to work doing contract flooring/ carpet fitting so i can get carpet in large amounts amounts of various people . maybe even rollends and off cuts. which would make for a patchwork quilt type of carpet. with varying surfaces. could be really good for off road indoor racing kinda imitating the outside with astro/tarmac/grass ect

now the fun stuff....
are some new ramps being built . wallrides. loop the loops:woot:. doubles /triples. obviously they wont be massive but some clip together stuff or cool litle jumps or tabletops could be great.

its a nice venue and if we are gonna keep using it thought i might as well see what ya all think about making it AWSOME.

No that was last winter. Our new indoor track is in Bolton. At the moment we run on Friday nights, about once a month, in addition to regular Sundays. However winter we will do Sunday meets there, probably still once a month or so.
The Chadderton track is still going to run this winter, but with Batley Buggy Club running it. Same location, same drivers, just less hassle for us! Its on Sundays, once a month again, but we'll time our once a month meetings for a different weekend, so they don't clash, and you get two meetings a month.

Indoor racing tends to cost a little more - £5 for Bury indoor meets (vs £3/£4 for outdoors) and £10 for Chadderton. Chadderton is a big meeting too, 100+ competitors so its a long day.
