As I read the comments, I am not sure I can agree with the one above. I may be wrong but the members voted on the track layout with the specific instructions that the track was 2m wide. The club did vote and design the track. However knowing that the RCCAOI require a width of 2.4m, could we have designed a different layout? I dont know. We were not told that the track we voted on would be excluded from RCCAOI event.
No, this is not true. The instructions were that the lanes were at least 2M wide. Members were given a template with 2M squares and told that if they wanted anything different to mail the drivers rep and you would be given what ever you required. Members were also told that our existing jumps that were made were 2M wide, but if they wanted any different features not to be afraid to include them.
Also remember all our jumps (apart from wall of death) were made before this new rccaoi rule came in.
Though as far as Im concerned, we were very open to any design submitted.

If you would like the original emails that were sent please contact me.

Please remember that the DMCC rules state 2M for all lanes except the straight which must me 2.5M (our straight is actually wider).

Also, our track area doesn't lend itself to make much wider lanes and at the same time keep the track interesting.
