Storm Valley Raceway
 

For a while now rumours have been circulating about a potential new indoor offroad dirt track in the UK – suitable for both 1/8 Nitro & 1/10 Offroad electric cars.

The permanent track looks like it will be based in Midlands, open 7 days a week for practice with racing two to three Sundays per month and will be the first of its kind in the UK – a fully functional US-style indoor track with covered pitting for 100 drivers as well as on site shop, catering and facilities.

More information to follow shortly with pictures of the build and dates, see www.storm-valley.co.uk</pre>

Sounds a fantastic idea.. always thought that a " dutch type " open barn over a track would be great.. although this sounds completely indoors.Hope it is as well prepared as RHR and if so could be perfect.! Lets wait and see...:drool:

Oh yes 20 mins away from me !! 5 mins away from Crewe !!! But more importantly 20 mins away from tarporley

I could run my review cars on the way home from work!

5 hrs away from me, will someone please do something like this in the SW

hey rob just noticed your sig link to my site thanks pal :):blush:

AWSOME
 

great for the hobby and racers.

Agree, we need something like this in various regions, hopefully as time goes on,
More people are welocomed into the hobby and the numbers grow as then, will the venues.

Would love to do an indoors Clay track with all the facilities etc in my area, but the price of buildings suitable are just plain impossible round here.

No more than 45 mins on a slow run from Ellesmere Port, I am in!

Im liking this too, hope its 10th friendly if its being designed for both scales.

Oh thats awesome news, i first heard the rumour only last weekend. Its sooo close for me. Right, nice excuse to buy all the kit again !

sounds great when do we get to see pics and when will it open?:thumbsup:

Excellent news, less than a 45 minute drive away and with food on site. This is the perfect excuse to now purchase the 1/8th Nitro!:D

Lol I was thinking that

And I have bought one :lol: can't wait this place has cost me a fortune and not even opened yet lol

Any more news!? Or photos?

Hi
how is this project going any idea when you are hopping to open?

Any updates, photos etc..?

I was told that this is still coming along but it is taking a little longer than was first thought.

Hi All,

We tried to contact Jimmy last week to give him some upto date news but haven't heard back off him as of yet so i will bring you all to speed

Planning consent has now been fully approved and we now have occupancy of the warehouse and building work commences later this week, lots of changes to the inside of the building with new toilet facilities and a new shop for RC-Bits and the important piece, the main arena for the dirt track all to be built.

Storm-Valley Raceway will open its doors to the public with a 2 day event on 22nd & 23rd June 2013, more information to be released in the next coming week in the mean time keep an eye on www.storm-valley.co.uk email [email protected]
