I'm all for a track that takes a high skill level to master, just a long as it can still be lapped cleanly even if you aren't that good. What I don't want is any of that 'and you have to hit the down ramp on the double just right or it will flip you over' stuff. Might be fun for those that can, but its just frustrating for those that can't and I promise they won't be back.
What I loved last summer was watching that lad with the Maverick practicing. He was slow, and all over the track, but he could just keep going, lap after lap without needing his car retrieved because there were no 'do or die' obstacles.
Obviously it would be great for Bury to make a track that is true national standard, and agreed given the opportunity we should make the best of it, but at the same time it is about the guys that turn up on Sunday. If it can do both - well thats just great. I know thats possible as other places do just that.

si i can see your point and im not having a dig about the basic track but if we think its just about us that turn up week in week out all that will happen is that all next year we will all turn up week in week out and moan that no one else is coming again and again im sure that some of the other national standard tracks have a group just like us that have just restarted racing so i disagree and think we need to listen to some of these guys about a new track layout because lets have it right not one of us me included know jack shit about designing a track most of us havent realy raced anywhere else.i think we should let stu and roger sort things out with the council see what we are gonna get then maybe ask 3 of the big name drivers to design a track with woody then we can have our little input to with things like the rostrum facing the wrong way because of the sun etc as they wouldent know things like this.
