It was good to be back indoor's it was like we had not been away just like the old days. I would like to say thank you to all who helped set up and put away at the end. I think eveyone enjoyed it and would be good to do in again maybe a winter series?:thumbsup:

The surface hasn't changed back to primarily dirt, still has the shredded tires on it, but there's not much of it left, so we just swept it away and raced on it.

Paul Field 26-09-2011 11:07 PM

We only raced inside on wim as it was raining so heavily on sunday morning. The surface is now dirt impregnated with chunks of rubber like the marbles on an f1 track. this makes it quite bumpy. I had a chunk of rubber jam my steering in one heat. This was much better after the cars had cleared a line.

Short Course on dirt
 
How good would it be to see these trucks running on the dirt.... would this be a consideration perhaps?:confused:

scorch 27-09-2011 01:17 PM

Winter series, would be awsome... maybe short course could be included?

blue_pinky 27-09-2011 03:14 PM

WOW!!!! I really hope your running this again sometime...I've heard nothing but great things about the indoor days at Tiverton, and although I've not managed to be much of a regular down there again this year I'd def be up for some winter racing action in there...:thumbsup:

Hoping it wasn't a one off!!!

:cry:

Nice pics. Is it me or have they got rid of that orange sandy shite that was there and its nice ordianry garden dirt now.
And also do they have 240v supply or no. If yes then i`ll be there next time.
Have they fixed that bloody cattle grid entrance yet too, I know John Howe refused to take his real car over it.

After our chat last week in between marshelling it got me thinking & have put the question forward.. lets see what kind of response it gets?:confused:

B3.is.King 12-01-2012 11:15 AM

so whats the chance of indoor dirt racing actually happening....

i know quite a few people who would dig out there cars for some indoor dirt racing.:thumbsup:

jonathan may 12-01-2012 01:33 PM

It was a one off due to bad weather don,T think it will happen again

Karting 12-01-2012 01:37 PM

Can i ask how much dirt do you think would be needed to do this? I was planning on building a 1/10-1/16 indoor dirt track for me to play on along with others if wanted.

I believe i have a big enough area to do so (used to be a old warehouse for building materials my family own) and working in the building trade materials wont be a issue to souce.

This is by hethrow and sorry for hi-jacking
