Lebury Buggy Track
 
Prior to the Mid-west regional the Ledbury club are looking at doing some work to the 1/10 buggy track.
Are there any Current features that you mid west racers don't like on the track and any we can add to make it a good off road grass track.
Looking at using astro on the jumps to keep them in good condition and from wear and tare.
We are hoping to do this on saturdays over the next couple of months weather permitting. Will post dates on hear to confirm and hopefully if youre bored you could lend a hand

The only thing i would change is the two doubles off the slab section. Maybe make them into a tabletop or bigger double that is more consistent lap after lap.
Love the bombhole, get rid of the wood in there and have it as just a dirt hole! Oh, any way a drain could be put from there into the gulley by the track too, incase we get our usual heatwave of a summer,LOL.

ditto andys comments really, I dont like those 2 little jumps

strobe 22-02-2009 08:18 PM

Those two little humps are hopefully going to be turned into something larger. Not sure what at the moment. Ideal double as it will be in front of the rostrum with a long landing ramp.
Wood has been removed from the bomb hole.
Drainage isn't a problem at Ledbury due to the sandy mud.
The Nitro track has some really good features added to it in the last month.

I personally hate the dust bowl, I much rather see grass and astro.

Bring the banked corner about 10 foot further up, this will allow the corner to be propely banked and longer.

strobe 22-02-2009 08:36 PM

Where can we get Astro from. Does get very dusty and hard for the grass to grow back in there.
Will try to improve the bank corner as well.
All depends on weather and helpers.

GRIFF55 22-02-2009 08:38 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, not more astro!!! keep the dust, it improves throttle control and impares your opponents visibility:lol::thumbsup:

Belsten 22-02-2009 08:49 PM

does get the cars extra dirty but I dont mind it, hate cleaning the car though

Neil867 22-02-2009 08:59 PM

Cant please everybody? this is a small club with only a few track builders.
So if there are anybody willing to give them a hand:thumbsup: You will be able to have a say in what features you want in track.

Neil867 24-02-2009 09:47 PM

Going to do some track mods.
looking for some ideas? let us know what you want.

Belsten 25-02-2009 11:25 AM

how about a big table top ?
or convert those 2 little jumps in to either a rythm section or some whoops :thumbsup:

Neil867 25-02-2009 06:18 PM

Thanks for ideas,Dave. hopefully going to do some work next wkend.
If there is anybody willing to give us hand it would be much appreciated:)

Work party next weekend at Ledbury. Hopefully get something done to the little humps and a few other things done as well.
Hopefully have a warm up meeting prior to the 2 regional events on April 5th

Hey New to the site, run with the ledbury club.
We are looking to change the two small humps into a largish double jump and after everything is running smoothly look into astroturfing the jumps but leave the bombhole as dirt.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Also acknowledged the banked corner will be built up more at some stage :)

thanks
