Indoor Clay Track in Bicester?
 
Anybody have any information about an indoor clay track at the old Leyton House F1 unit in Telford Road, Bicester? .............. I've been told that there is going to be a track there and they are going to be running meetings on a Wednesday evening ......... sorry if there's already been a post before about it but I haven't been on here in a while so i might be behind the times ............ any info? ;)

Lee Martin 15-03-2009 02:22 PM

Hi all...Well yes this is the Proline Dirt Arena, Created by the Trumans and myselfy for your racing pleasure!!!!

Let me tell you a few things about this venue!

USA style dirt indoor clay track.
Full Indoor pitting and electric on site
On Site Shop
On Site food
Vast Parking
Fully Backed by CML and Proline USA to try to bring you the things RC dreams are made of!!!

Could this be the thing that the UK has been waiting for?

The Tracks sculptured now and it looks amazing.... we will be holding weekly events and most likely Saturday race meetings...more info TBA.

Well everyone...what do you think??

RogerM 15-03-2009 02:30 PM

Would love to see the pictures Lee!

I think it's an amazing project and all power to you all for pulling it off!

I'll be along as regularly as I can. One question is about the surface, what sort of dirt have you got and can you give me a tire recomendation (guessing a proline something).

David Church 15-03-2009 03:07 PM

No question for me!!!! I will be there!!! But when is the first race???:thumbsup:

about there

markwilliamson2001 15-03-2009 05:57 PM

How about a summer Micro meeting? Would love to give the ST a blast on a dirt track! Could you make a smooth enough track with scaled jumps?

If so, count me in for a one-off meeting

1/18th gas

just waiting for dirt to dry at mo as when wet is very sticky and clogs roller... once dry will roll and add chemicals to bind dirt together.

18th scale would be ace on any 'American' Dirt track just like this is shaping up to be, don't worry about that.

pesky badger 16-03-2009 08:28 PM

If you need help on a mid-week evening then I might be able to lend a hand :D

rich_cree 16-03-2009 09:41 PM

I've just got back from the arena and it's looking awesome. Tony and Phill have been hard at work, the place looks fantastic! It's definitely convinced me to get back to electrics!

MK999 16-03-2009 10:25 PM

Just after I decide to take a break :( Looks fantastic though, better still be going strong when I come back to racing! :thumbsup:

Lee Martin 18-03-2009 11:20 AM
