Hi Toby, keen as ever

location is:

Arena UK
Allington
Grantham
Lincolnshire
NG32 2EF

A hard stone throw from our outdoor venue!

Track size i cannot say until we've been in and measured properly as the owners have shows on for the next week, but will be announced asap.

From the pics i've seen and a rough measurement i have it will be in comparison to the other Sunday meetings held by regional clubs.

Track will be multisurface, the base layer is a cocoa matting, although this will have plenty of carpet and slippy sections thrown in to make it more interesting and a challenge for everyone.

There is no control tyre as yet, since i haven't run a car on it to see what will work.

At the minute there are 2 possibilities...

Mixed surface... carpet/matting and slippy wooden bits to make it interesting

Or...

there may be a chance of being able to build an indoor astroturf track for the winter, but cannot confirm until it happens...

but will definitely be different to flat carpet touring car track with a few small jumps

will let you all know asap and will get pictures up as soon as the venue is kitted out for the first club meeting, which will be early October

Thanks for the interest

I live quite a way from you and have options closer to home for the indoor meetings in the sports hall type environment, but if you were to have an indoor astro off road track......

Taken from the A1 forum...

"The dates above are still provisional but I guess at the moment the first date will be November 20th with another round added in or on the end, as we are still building the track."

Hmmmm...
