Default Track relocation

It's on.
Bury council say there is money to start the project. A meeting is to be arranged for next week to iron out what is needed. Although I think they will still want to do it on the cheap.

Do you think we should dismantle the steelwork and roof of the rostrum ?
We can then re-use it and make a better weather proof one.
If so we need to organise a work party asap.

That's both sweet & sour news Rog.

I'm looking forward enormously to a new track, but will be genuinely sorry to see the end of the existing one.

I'll always remember winning a regional (I think Colin broke in the final) and getting top F2 at the last (2008?) National.

The king is dead, long live the king

Great news. Any idea how long the track will be out of action for? Are we able to extend the indoor track dates until the outdoor is ready?

Reuse whatever we can salvage, why pay when we don't have too?

I can help with dismantling but bear in mind if I take it down its never going back up again......

How much like the old track will the new one be? Will there still be a hairpin, tabletop etc?
