Ok so Here's the cunning plan:
One weekend a month we will lift the on-road carpet to reveal a 480 sq.m wooden base. On this base we will paint a track layout using green and red floor paint (green where you drive, Red where you don't) and we will mix in some very fine grit so as not to cause too much wear on tyres. Track markings will be in the form of old hosing. Then we will cover approx 70% of the track with a mixture of carpet and astro turf that will go over jumps and bumps that we will make with OSB boarding, tables, with thinner ply to achieve a smooth take off and landing. A few of us (me included are old buggy racers so we get a feel for what you are looking for but open to listen to advice).
The dates I have in mind that avoid Worksop and Broxtowe are as follows:
Please note the track will be available from Saturday lunchtime on the day before each of these dates, but just for open practice so you can get some testing done ready for the Sunday. This would cost £5 for as much track time as you like and open to everyone, not just those racing on the Sunday.
