Maritime Racing We Want You

[Maritime]

Calling all of south east off-road racers due to the good news of Maritime Raceway not losing its venue, we are considering opening an off road racing club to be run on a Tuesday night with practice days on Some Saturdays. it will be run in the next room at Maritime Raceway and will be a permenent track.

I will give details on track size ASAP and other detail as and when they are ready

Reason for this post, we are trying to find out if it is worth actually opening and running a club, so please can you post your intrest and if you would attend

all comments are welcome

Thank you

going by the turnouts at EPR i'd say you have plenty of people down that side of london to get you going.

Personally its a bit far for me for a Tuesday night, but i'd probably try and attend any saturday and sunday events

Let me know if you need any help with anything. The flooring thats there should be ideal as a basis and then perhaps different materials can be used for more or less grip if you choose.

Will you be using some of the features used at the Petit race?

I would be interested in attending some saturdays

I think this is great news and a great idea!!!!
I so crave some midweek racing and Saturday practise!!!!
No offence meant to the FORCC club, but I don't get on with the surface and changing between stock motors and modified would do my head in, have you seen me work on my cars
I am sure it will take a bit to build a driver base, but to have another club in the South East to go and race at is a dream come true.
So come on you lot show your interest

[MattADH]

What are the chances of regional meetings in the future?

Dear All

We are just waiting for the dockyard to inform us that it is ok to start work in the next room.

I will post on here when we will start if there is anyone in the off road class that can help with a work party that would be great

Dear Racers

If you are keeping track on the Maritime Racing car club thread you will see that we are pushing hard to get this venue up and running.

We have had a great deal of interest and are hoping that the interest is still out there and burning.

As all at the club are up and ready to give you the racers a great venue and race experience.

Thank you

Ian Knight

Dear Racers

Hope you are all well.

Due to family and other commitments Maritime Racing have not been able to get on with the build of the new off road track as much as we wanted.

We are about half way there in the new year we will be having work parties to get this venue up and running.

I will post on this forum the dates that we will be there.

We hope there is still the interest from the racers to use the venue.

If you can help and are still interested in racing with us please let us know

Good to hear Ian, know it's been difficult of late, keep up the good work!

Can assure you that there are very many of us just waiting for the call to help and advise! I've said it before and I'll say it again 'You build it and they will come!'
As you've seen from the response to Off Road Wars (and other events around the country) there is a massive interest in indoor off-road and the South East is in need of another venue to support the considerable efforts of the team at FORCC!

Keep up the good work and post any dates for work parties here, personally will make every effort to help and advise!

[MHeadling]

Well said Brookie!

I know alot of the Forcc lads are looking forward to coming to your track, quite a few of us have been driving to Taplow (Slough) to get some carpet practice in so we are well up for it!

I think you'll be suprised how many drivers you'll get, us off roaders don't mind to travel for the right track/venue.

As we know from Off road wars that the facility/meetings are ace!

Looking forward to racing there!

CML? PDA? They were built and no-one (or at least not enough) came.
Having said that there seems to be alot of interest and the good Maritime name can only help.
