New Track Info
 

Just to let everybody know, the counsil will be starting either next week or the following week!
We are having a new track and they are going to try and re-use as much stuff as possible.
We are having a brand new rostrom.
The contractor has said it will probably take untill the summer untill it is finished but at least it will be started.:thumbsup:

Awesome news:thumbsup:

waay:thumbsup:

Good news,

What will be state of play for regionals this year ?

AFAIK the regional dates haven't been set yet - I certainly couldn't find any. So Bury's dates could be adjusted to be later in the year.

But I also think it is our intention in the meantime to use our indoor track markings and jumps to set out a grass track course elsewhere in Goshen park, just to keep the racing going. We can rotate the exact location to avoid serious wear on the turf.

excellent news on the track
and grass trackings ace
truck class on grass is awsome we can get the big jump out.....

Great news. Big thanks to the Woods and the Bury committee as I am sure Bury will be the envy of the British RC off road community.

Sounds awesome cant wait for any racing outdoors, woody when a get chance al be down to lend a hand work away in the week mind you bud!!:thumbsup:

Let's see how many new faces turn up to race on our new track
That's if the bods abusive and obscene posts haven't put them all off........ Tut tut tut

Where is the new track going to located.. Many memories of the goshen track.. Bit far to come and race there.. Oh to have grip going round corners... Those were the days.

Mud racing ??
 

The track is only moving next to the old one, nearer the car park and rotated 90 degrees.
(Mud racing or is it still dry where you are?)

?????

Sarcasm???????

Well it ain't put me off! Joined this week.

Looking forward to joining in with the banter "live time".

Been sharpening my skills at Chadderton, only to find I need a better sharpener.

thats good news roger:thumbsup:

Interesting seeing the old astro underneath, it's like Time Team.

I raced there at an F2's I think, in the early 90's when the banked corners were tarmac, was ace!

What are you doin'.......on here while the match was on ?

:cry:

Went down last night and there is only the cabine under the rostram and race control left. Everything else has gone!:(
Its now just a muddy field.

Atleast they are getting on with it,lets just hope the nice weather stays!!

R.I.P Bury Metro track :cry:

hi i might join as i live near but was woundering what time and days is this track open ? and can i just come and run round the track or is it for compotitionss ? :confused:

The track was open on Sundays for racing and for practice people just used to jump the fence. but now the track is gone :thumbdown:

Currently being rebuilt in a new position due to sporthall being rebuilt and extended. Watch this club section for progress.

hi what days would i be able to come and race when track is done and i would just want to run round eg practice is that posible and how old do you need to be as i am 13 nearly 14

looks like whiskers has an apprentice

track will be a while yet but keep an eye on here and you will be racing before you no it. and we run indoor and probaby outdoor on grass to

Its amazing what you can do wen you have the right equipment. What they have done would take a month of saturdays. This is a blank canvas and the chance to make a belting track.:thumbsup:

:D i might buy a traxxas slash or r evo not to sure tho :) :thumbsup:

They are not really that great for racing though. Really you need a 1-10th buggy not a truck (except if your name is Johnny!)

what cars do you suggest to buy ?:lol:

B4.1 Brushless RTR.

There was one racing with us last Sunday looking pretty decent straight out of the box.
We do have a few trucks that race though, so if you want a Slash its got some competition, but you'll find the Slash is the least raceworthy truck, so will find it harder. If the short course style appeals, the HPI Blitz is a better truck than the Slash.

goshen is having a truck class this summer
even if its just me johnny nitro si rc10 and the kids with trucks
driiiiift smashhhh yeah
trucks rule
check the bifg dirt triples they built in rogs pic

that will sort the men from the boys

Looks like Rock Crawling to me

Saturday 5th March

And the vandals have had a go at burning the pile of astro.

if the council have left the astro turf where it can get vandalised then they will have to replace it do you have a set size the council are working to?
