New off road venue in west yorkshire?
 
Hi guys.
A few of us are looking in to starting an outdoor off road 10th electric track in Keighley west yorkshire. We have been offered a nice piece of land that we can do preity much what ever we want with. The area is large enough for a nice sized track with plenty of pitting space. Im posting this to see how much interest we have from racers in this area. Our local club 10electric has round 10 members that have shown an interest in racing. We require people to help set this up and help run it. If you are interested please post or send me a pm. If we can get enough people interested we will go for it!

Its a really nice spot. It would be a shame to let it slip.

I think he means there is no such thing as TOO many, as in loads is a great thing :lol:

SuperSparkSteve 24-06-2009 11:12 AM

lol, that makes sense

daz 25-06-2009 08:16 AM

Good luck with the new track hope it goes well, you could maybe get it included for next years regionals and save all the Yorkshire folk travelling up north to dark and dingy geordie land (runs and hides). Couldnt you build it closer to York as we dont have a outdoor track.

SuperSparkSteve 25-06-2009 02:21 PM

i can get a load of 1.2 square meter 6 mm ply an some 4x2 timber from work. should be good enough to make a few jumps out of it.

I don't think tomorrow would be the best day to get people there with the regional on at Batley. Why don't you come down to Batley and see what the track looks like to give you some ideas? Or even race at the regional?
