Chris, I thought there would be a lot of interest, because of the 3 clubs in the area but with nowhere to race, teesside have now lost there permanent venue so i would say you will get more people willing to race outdoor instead of keeping dry etc.
I think you would pull in more people as well as nobody really walks past a sports hall or a warehouse and thinks "i wonder whats going on in there" but if the track is visible from a road or path etc then people that have an incling of interest will come and see whats going on.
The north east does need somewhere to race 1/10th, if you look at the 8th track near bishop auckland that has taken off well and people travel for miles to race on it as im sure people from york and batley clubs would if there was one built further north.
If you need any help just ask
