Quick update!
Well we have had some fantastic weather for the work parties and a huge thanks go to all those that have come down and helped out
and the support of the Adur committee, it really is shaping up very nicely. So far we have a lot of the clay down around the track in the areas that needed work the most, the track has been widened and straightened up in many areas with some sculpting. It's by no means finished as it soon became apparent that this time we wanted to do it right, rather than a 'quick fix'.
So we will be continuing the work to add more clay, build it up in various areas and get it flatter/rolled. The ropes will be painted white this week, the new sections of track will get more clay/soil too shortly. The new raised pitlane is finished and painted and now has a shelf on it for refueling and starting, the steps up to the rostrum now have improved handrails, we have 2 new timing loops installed and 4 new small jumps.
The double has become a tabletop and the other jumps have been built up and re-profiled.
Some great news this week is that we should shortly have a large quantity of Astroturf which will be used predominantly to cover the jumps to reduce wear and keep their profiles long term, as well as used in some other areas if there is enough left and it's considered beneficial. Just working out some logistics....
The track is by no means finished so watch this space!
However, the great news is that this Sunday is the first round of the Summer Series on the new track!!! So why not come down on Sunday and see it in the flesh! All are welcome, we will be running 1/8 buggy, Truggy and MT (If there are enough for a round, or MT's will go in with Truggy).
Also for this year, we will be running 1/10 scale too, so dig out those 1/10 buggies, trucks and new jalopy short course trucks for some off road fun! We already have enough confirmed for a round of short course trucks on Sunday which should be great fun to drive/watch!!
Plenty more in the pipeline currently for the track, but that's all for now. So come down Sunday whether you have never raced before or are experienced, and just have fun, that's the goal always! Even if you want to just pop in to have a look, all are welcome!
