Also full carpet kills buggy tyres so some form of multisurface areas would be beneficial. Also putting on 7 two day meetings might be a bit much, I'd stick to sat or sun not both. The chatsworth meeting sounds like a great idea too..
Just my 2cents from what I've learnt at worksop
good feedback, Saturday is a bonus day for those who can make it and they will get more track time (even a 1 day event at £10 isn't bad) so lets say it's Sunday only but Saturday is free for buggies to come and set up their cars and practice.

Surface would be a combo of wooden flooring, carpet, astro, to be honest ramps and layout would be like Worksop which I believe everyone is happy with? OSB boards, tables, hard board to create a smooth arc leading into a flowing jump with a down ramp for those who don't think Air is the fastest way around the track. Can't ship loads of soil in unfortunately :-) Chatsworth would be a great finale!

Thanks for the interest everyone, for the first day of posting I am impressed by the enthusiasm. I think I will be announcing this on Monday as a goer!!!
