Watched the vid and whilst I do like the track and can see how the hoses link up the sections I suspect that a track like that would not be in the current best interests of the club. Its a little too challenging or to put it another way, not very novice friendly.
Remember that currently Bury outdoors is based around a core group of about 12 regulars, virtually none of whom were members this time last year. We are very much in the recruitment phase and need to encourage more people to join. There are about a half dozen good potentials waiting got the outdoor season to start - with about the same number of possibles. Whilst that might sound like a small number, that could double our regular weekly membership - which ought to be more important to the club at this time than hosting an awesome round of the NW region!
The last, much less technical indoor track was much better received by drivers of all ability levels than the previous obstacle courses because whilst it still took skill to be fast, everyone could at least put in clean laps. Anything more demanding than say Southport is a bad idea. Southport manages about the right balance of beginner friendly but national challenge in the same track. Obviously being so close to Sotuhport we can't just copy them, we will have to different enough to be distinct, but going overly technical isn't going to help the club.
