Hi Matt, sorry i couldn't make Monday, as you know i've been in hospital (still there keying this on my iPhone).

Neil's plan looks good, when do you expect to start building jumps etc?

As Dave pointed out, the jumps have to be user friendly to the cars as they are landing on a very hard surface, you need long landing ramps to absorb the shock.

As soon as i escape from here i'll give you a call.

Alec

no probs Alec, i got the message
the track has to be designed for bikes too so the width has to be, we plan on making removable rumble strips and adding wider ones to give reduced width in the future.
this track may be the most flexible in the uk after all this

just had a look at moto-arena vids on youtube and it looks like it could be an awsome place to run on or off road

its 120 miles from home so not to bad for a day out

Was there the weekend before last to watch the pros testing the indoor track. My mate Tom invited me along and it's a great venue. I did overhear some talk about an offroad track - they have a small (overgrown) one out the front but an indoor one would be awesome.

It's only about 30 mins drive from me so I'd be there all the time as long as I could run my 1/8 buggy

In the mean time I need to get my TC sorted as the indoor circuit is awesome!

Yeah I went up there on Wednesday night. It's currently being designed at the minute. They hope to get a track for mid November should things go to plan.

When your there you have to have a go on the Mini Z's.

I'm sure the moto arena will release something shortly.

Just noticed that Taplow has the old jumps from Newbury, these are great indoor jumps and would be a good place to start from if you were thinking of knocking some up

Video's on http://www.vimeo.com/user3419346/videos/sort:date

Banked corner, Crossover/Tabletop............. all come to bits for storage as well.

Going back to the track design.

What's the footprint of the space you have for the track?

The drawing that you did looks to me like it may be too fast for off-road with many parts that would just be flat out or close to it.

If your going to be putting two table tops together make sure its NOT possible for people to do them in one. We've come a cropper at worksop building jumps and then when i try them they can be done in one, saving a shed load of time but leading to lots of bits at the end of the day.

Personally I would have a sweeping (ish) first corner, give people more chance in the final rather than just all piling into a hairpin/table top. Maybe put the table top thing as the start of the straight or have it after the first corner.

My two penny worth for now. Good luck with it all, look forward to having a go round.

Danny
