Proposed National tracks 2008

[Northy]

I was not aware that it was near Hilbitch, I thought it was south of london somewhere, which is why I couldn't understand why someone said it was near Holbitch.

My bad, and certainly not a dig at holding meetings in the southern states....

Ok the pics for track in wales are for the huge nitro track, ive never seen any one take a 10th buggy on there, the track is choppy, but would be a cool laff to see you all trying to take the huge banked bend on to the tripple

speaking to Dad and Matt i think there was talk of the track being on grass, Matt i belive owns all the land that the golf course and track is on there was talk that he would shift as much earth as we need for all the jumps ( with down ramps).

Cheers thanks for the info, have just returned to racing after 9 yrs, did a bit this year but am still an F5. If I get my entrys in nice and early will I get in? Not sure of the numbers nowadays for entrys to the nationals, does there tend to be many disapointed reserves at each meet?

Right gentlemen for those who are interested Talywain is near pontypool in southwales it is between the M4 and the A449 roughly.
The proposed track will be on the grass at the front of the golf rage so it will use the natural contours of the ground plus any wooden or earth jumps as the track builder [Millzy ] may seem fit . the is a club house /cafe [best breakfast in south wales ] toilets and over night camping facilities if you get bored thereis a golf course too The track you may have seen in any photos is the dirt nitrotrack currently under reconstruction following the granting of planning permission.if you want to see any photos of the grass tracks please go th www.nitotrucks .com photo gallerys

Geography is not a prerequisit in my job, you see the actual trains run on rails which tends to guide them where they're going. It's when that plan goes wrong I get involved

Perhaps they're not on rails in Wales? they just come and go like Taxis. I dunno. ()

[MattW]

I love the way Dan accepts that these things are simply a matter of time!!!!

As has been said Eastrax is about 10 mins down the A17 from Holbeach - or about 15 mins from my house as i prefer to think of it

[hywel]

of course they run on rails how else would Ivor the engine get around [lol]
