Cool We almost have a rostrum.

Well after much debate and hunting last week me and Brimz went on a 5 hour mission and picked up a small load of racking to use with a load of ply sheets we already had to create our first "propper" rostrum (yes I know some may laugh but its the best we could do on virtually 0 budget )

On Saturday 6 of us went out and had a very soggy day in the rain but we made some progress.



4 of us made it out today and got the rostrum moved on a good way. Only a bit more boarding, bolting, welding and handrails to do before we can start to sand and paint the timber

The Rostrum its self is quite petite at only 4.5m x 1.22m platform size and a 5.5ft standing height. But then its not like it's the biggest track in the world and until we start to get the heat sizes up to the 9-10 mark its not going to be a problem. Under the main deck there is a full length table for final car prep, check or maintenance before putting them on the grid. Race control will be in a nice little 7m x 5m marquee I have which will go next to the rostrum.

Oh yeah we also as you can see from the first photo we manged to get a good chunk of the track barriers up as well

Hope you like it
