The committee was going to buy in tables to use in the pits
But it has been decided to build the table so in keeping with the
Maritime Raceway style

Ian Knight

Any progress??? Cant wait for this to be up and running!:thumbsup:

Hi guys

The work done so far looks great, can't wait to come and race offroad leccie style.

On another note if you require another pair of hands, i'm a local builder and more than welcome to come and help in my spare time.

PM me if you require anymore details.

Tom Upson

Ian showed me the new room a few weeks back. The tables were done, and awaiting electric.
Very slightly smaller than the TC track, but will make no difference to the racing, its like 4 metres difference.

Looking like this could be a really good off road venue, and can't wait to get racing there.

With Tommo on the above, currently out of work so more than happy to come along and help out if required.

Dear All

We are pushing hard we have two sets of the four lights now up and running

We are ordering more timber this week

I will try and keep a better up date on this for you

Hi Ian....I see you have been away for a while & you will post updates soon which is great - I thought I would chance my arm and ask the question everyone is thinking...any idea roughly when you hope to be up and running...I know I can't wait to come and use the track.... I'm sure there is so much more to it than I can comprehend but my excitement has overruled my head & I could not help but ask!
Look forward to see what all your teams hard work has achieved.

Dear Racers

Hope you are all well.

Due to family and other commitments Maritime Racing have not been able to get on with the build of the new off road track as much as we wanted.

We are about half way there in the new year we will be having work parties to get this venue up and running.

I will post on this forum the dates that we will be there.

We hope there is still the interest from the racers to use the venue.

If you can help and are still interested in racing with us please let us know


Maritime Racing

Course we are still interested! Keep us in the loop please! :thumbsup:

Second that, fear not Ian there is still loads of interest at FORCC, people always mentioning the track & looking forward to it opening & getting racing which is what we all want - will be great for the region & personally 10 mins up the road will be a dream come true!
All the best & look forward to seeing everyone there soon :)

Dear All

We was at the new track today big clean up in the pit area to get ready for pit table to be vanished.

More lights wired in over the track area
