Maybe tone down the second jump then. But on the whole the track was spot on, very well designed, 49 drivers attended todays meeting and i'm sure there will be more at the next one.

Brilliant day today! Really enjoyed it and was very impressed with the track and the use of the available space. Obviously a lot of effort had been put in by BMCC and heard only posative comments about the track. In regards to the jumps being too big, I think maybe they were but would of been fine if they had a down ramp. I think with jumps that big you do need a down ramp otherwise you get cars slapping on the ground causing unpredictable bouncing!

But overall really impressed and thanks to BMCC for a great day. Looking forward to the next one. :thumbsup:

WEll i thought the track was good. I had the unlucky pleasure of being able to run both 4wd and 2wd after i broke the 4wd after round 3. For round 4 and the final the 2wd actually felt better around the track than the 4wd. It just seamed to flow more :woot:

My only critisium of the track would be that it was dangerious marshelling at point 1 after the wall. quite a few times i had to quickly move out of the way. As also previously said the secound jump did seam a bit wired to land off, maybe it was just a tad to steep. Also i am unsure about the mat being needed after the table top cus it just seamed to lunch you if you did over jump the table top, and it was then also quite dangerious marshelling from point 1 as you were unsure what cars were coming over the table top.

Please don't take these comments as a negative as i did really enjoy the track it's just a few things to think of for next time :thumbsup:

First of all - A BIG Well done the the Broxtowe club for putting on a first class event. To say the track was their first 'go' at indoor off road it was very good, if not excellent. :thumbsup:#
Puts quite a few more established clubs to shame.

The meeting was well run and the use of space was spot on.

My only niggle would be the 2nd ramp after the hairpin, it could do with being shallower. Another possibility which I mentioned to Alan was to maybe use rolled up carpet underneath the carpet to create a series of jumps (Maybe 2 doubles). Using a flexible piece of wood under the carpet is usually enough to give a good ramp effect. Also it keeps the height of the cars down and puts more emphasis on rythmn.

The crossover was ace. Easy to see through and a challenge to get right and fast. OK the mat afterwards was a bit of a springboard. But you didn't have to jump that far, landing on the downslope of the crossover was much quicker...

TBH: Well impressed with the layout and meeting in general, I'll be back for sure.:thumbsup:

I believe the matts after the crossover were Mr Sharps idea ;) Anyways I reckon the track was great apart from the two ramps after the back straight, if they were a shallower angle they would be a lot easier to manage plus the cars will fly further meaning you would probably only need one. Great track though challenging and definatly flowing. Personally I think that sleeping policeman would be better under the carpet to.

Well done guys. :thumbsup:

Your right Rob the mats after the cross over were my idea, I thought they were needed to protect cars when clearing the table top/cross over but it just made cars bounce on landing. Don't think it was a bad thing though from a safty point of view because it stopped people getting big air and forced you to use the down ramp which was long enough to use anyway. As Adam said hoping over the top and landing on the down ramp was the quickist way of doing it, you were able to accelerate on landing into the wall of death, it was very nice to drive.

A rythmic section in replacement of the big jumps or at least the steep one sounds a good idea.

Track layout and comments
 

:DThanks to all again. I am one proud club chairman I can tell you!!!

We will listen to all comments regarding the track as we really want to improve for next time. That second jump will not be used as it was last time, if at all without some modification anyway.
Please continue to let us know what you think as we can't improve without drivers feedback.

:blush:still buzzing from everybody's generous comments both on Sunday and on here, the positive feedback is most gratifying after all the hard work (big thanks to steve brook for the construction work). must admit i did spend alot of time thinking about the track and it looks like it paid off.
already musing the next one and appreciate the feedback, keep it coming and thanks again:cool:
