Are you gonna be rebuilding the track in line with the original track drawing on the website?

That'd be great, proper old school track -spin to win!!

Pretty much a new track,the current one is past its sell by date! Hudu is gonna be the man behind the design and build,so it`ll be great.It`ll still be a long one!

We start monday. Tight budget so really hoping when it was built in the 80s that they didn't do it with old builders rubble like it would appear - hope theres some decent dirt under there.

Hope to see some new and old faces down there when stuff is done, first task will be to raise a few quid to tarmac the berms, no one loves the wakka!

I'll make sure there's a table for Moley

And a 31 foot double so i can nail it for Clark and Kent (see Fastlane issue 4)

Actually, I'm doing this with a broken thumb from the trails, so that might have to wait a while

Will try to use this thread to throw some build pics up along the way if we get time. Should be up there for about 4 weeks.

Fook me BOF, is that bottom shot the first corner???

Trees tend to grow some eh? I reckon that looks 85 by the kit.
