New Venue for 2012?

[Dudders]

Guys,

Thought I'd give this an airing in public.

I've got a meeting tomorrow about a possible change fo venue for 2012. It would mean a loss of any type of facilities, power, toilets etc etc and be 'in the sticks', pretty remote to be honest.

It's on some private land and it measures about 45 acres It's South of the A31, not to far from Wrecclesham. I would be allowed to use diggers etc etc to make 'whatever I wanted'...... There is not much grass (would'nt even grow here) so it would need to be Astro.

Would you travel to a different place if the track was twice the size but without facilities?

[robelmes]

Yep
would be a better surface for all year round racing

Hi Mate,
Not too sure I'd be able to make it 'on time' for the regular tuesday night evenings, with the extra travel, but I'd give it a go, and will have more time for the w/e's too now...

[Dave Westwood]

Hi Neil, sounds good, closer to us too

[maseace]

All you need is a porter loo like torch as you have the burger van for major events so no different to now so for you I think it's worth looking at if it makes a better track for the future

[Deano577]

Sounds like a plan if you need help digin I'm in Do you have to go all astro as it's nice to race on differant track surface and after all there off road buggies!!!
You gotta love the dirt!!!!!

[imull]

Boo! I might have to drive more than 5 mins from work

Yeah, sounds like a plan to me.

Met the land owner today.... so, who wants to take a look at the proposed site.

Firstly is HUGE, 45 acres of mix woodland and grassed area. My main concern in security, or rather lack off. Think there is a play off between size of space and knowing most of the kit is still in place when you need it!

[Dr_UpGrade]

I'd be up for a look too...

(although I do still like the current grass set up)..

Security could be an issue, also what about crosser bikes etc?

[Dudders]

Crosser bikes?

[Dudders]

Everything LOL.

Might buy a truck/rostrum/race control

[Streeter]

Second hand 40 ft shipping container can be found for less than 2k for all the electrics etc, as for the rostrum if you took the one from shrccc and site welded the poles together so it cant be unbolted would be an absolute nightmare for someone to take away.

hi neil , if its besides surrey sawmills then there is a mx track there from about 10yrs ago . we ( john allaway motorcycles , aka jam sport built a track and after about 3 months we were told to leave due to noise .
awesome prospect with all the space there .

[Dudders]

Hi Glenn, not there buddy but your not far off

[imull]

Come on then, make with the google maps link

[dobber]

I'd come across and have a look at it. Only thing for me is that traffic at 6ish could be an issue especially around th eroundabout on the A31 from Farnham town centre to Wrecclesham itself.

[andyroooo]

MX track on site sounds good!! I'd be torn for which one of the toys to play with though

[Dudders]

Pulling this idea. Just been down for a walk around on spec and there are people everywhere, not secure enough for me to sleep at night!.

Back to plan B, which is excavating, hardcore and astro!
