Sounds interesting, regarding tyre choice what surface(s) does it have? I may pop down so we can talk regionals to.

I'll do my best to come along, wife's birthday the day before though, might not be allowed out to play

Simon, as far as I know, it's a grass track, so the normal tyres for that.

Grass with Dirt jumps, it would be great to have a pre season chat!

How much under cover pitting is available and do we need to bring tables and chairs? Also have you got a rostrum in place yet as I see on your website you currently stand on the bank?

We have plenty of tables but not a lot of chairs!
Undercover pitting for approx 10 in the container ,probably same again in caravan and a couple of large gazebos if needed.
Sadly rostrum is not ready but we do have a high bank , a few boxes to stand on and the rostrum area is roped off!

Default Fantastic meeting

The weather was great, racing very exciting and track was challenging!
The Norfolk team made it down and dominated the racing and gave some much needed advice on how to improve the track!
Some of the Coastal regulars attended and really got the best from there cars and track!!
So in all it was a massive success for both the new track and the up coming regional series, thanks to Team CMCC and all the drivers.

Don't forget both Colchester and Coastal are holding meetings all the way up to the start of the series and throughout the year, so plenty of opportunities to get some practice before series starts in March!!!
See you track side.
Thanks
