I hope you find something, keep me posted on whats happening.

Hi James
The problem with a drive round scenario (which I have done) is the following.
Firstly, the venues that are used have commitments and it won't be a permanent venue.
Agents are involved and that simply makes it too expensive.
Example: I have found the best venue but not in the best area.
A massive double unit (one for pitting) and could build a track as large as any other in the UK - all indoors BUT the agent is involved and the price is £20k per annum just for the rent. This is simply too high as I want to keep the entry fee for race meetings as low as possible.
It has to be someone that knows someone type thing on a barn or warehouse or land or anything so long as we can cover it (bloody weather) and that way if the venue is not used they get something rather than nothing.
Been through to various councils and as many know they are useless and have a care factor of zero......
Help as they say - someone must know something that can help locating a good venue....
