Next saturday, another 100m of astroturf will be added to the track. :D

more astro.... IMO any track that runs spikes is not a euros track...:cry:

All that torn up ground and dirt would have made for nice photos :(

just thought.... on the info, track is 200M long... you have some astro down already and your going to add 100M????

Don´t worry, from here to august will be many races in the track and in all those races the club will try diferent options looking to the Euro.

That don´t means that the track during the Euro will be 100% astroturf. The idea is to get a mix circuit but the club must try to look where is better use astro and where not. :thumbsup:

PS. Jimmy, you will get great photos anyway :drool:

Don't the EFRA rules have a percentage of the track that is allowed to be artificial? I always thought it had to be something like 90% natural, i.e Grass/Dirt like they usually are?

At Italy last year I discussed this with PW, the rules have changed, can't say for sure what the rule is though:)

Hey,

This is from the 2007 EFRA rule book.

After some research I found out that;
The facts :-
Euro's Off-Road rules used to state that the MAXIMUM artificial surface is 80%. (Not 10% artificial).
This rule was changed in 2002 because it could preclude some good venues.
In fact it was the Tiverton track in 2002 that prompted the change, because sand mixed with horse sh-t was not considered NATURAL by some persons.
This is the rule change that I didn't know the wording, hope this helps:D.

Is there a special tyre for horse sh*t Dave :lol:

Actualy Yes there was!!! hahahaha
Step pins were most peoples choice, but they only did a rear tyre, so we used to cut and shut!!!
Cut a few roes out of a rear tyre and glue them back together to fit the front!!!!
Horse poo is a special surface, I miss that track:cry:

My sister have a riding school, we can ask to change the track if you wish :D:D...

NO don't change it!!! Water it well and roll it down till its hardpack and then race on it!!!!! ie Tivvy styleeeeeeee:thumbsup:
