Funny you should mention this mikey as we were discussing this some weeks ago trackside at Torch. Speaking to some of the 1/8th guys (i dont have one !) who were from clanfield ??? iirc they said Torch as it currently stood would be small for a 1/8th track and quite dangerous for marshalling. The side netting would need reinforcing, especially at the end of the straight and in field marshalling as it is at the moment would be equally iffy.
As has been said a 4Kg lump flying around at 40mph is ALOT different to a 1.6Kg 1/10th.
I would personally be alittle concerned about the wear and tear on the track, I assume these larger and heavier cars would wear the astro much quicker which would be detrimental to the 1/10th cars. I appreciate this is a very early stage discussion but I would rather the track stayed 1/10th and any effort was put into improving it for them than converting to accomodate 1/8th
