I reckon it'll fit fine, IMCC is a similarly sized layout and they have far less room than us, given their track is thinner than ideal. The key to long lap times is minimising the space wasted with infield, I'm not fussed what track we go with but we need to make the most of the space we've got, which is pretty sizable when you think about it - IMCC is 2 tennis courts, we've got that plus about another 1 tennis court in runoff

Like Andrew said we want track that can run state/national level racing in future. There is minimum width to meet AARCMCC rule. Also need to have distance between drivers stand and nitro pit lane, again have to meet AARCMCC standard. AND we going to pit behind drivers stand / side of track(water side) and walk way on club side of track so no we don't have as much room as IMCC.

Default 15 secs

Just a thought but as the cars get quicker wont the laps get under 15 secs again I cant see why 15 secs is a good lap time higher/lower does it matter that much.

these are the requirements i think from ARCMCC, or they may also be IFMAR rules which ARCMCC adopts.
