At the moment there is need for a track in Birmingham area. I think a new venue would be most welcome.
Only problem when 1/8th tracks convert over to running 1/10th is the track tends to be rough on the buggies and generally 1/10th buggies break a lot.
Having said that if the track could be worked on and made less rough then i think you would get good attendence.
Good luck in anticipation.
