hey past ur bedtime:D....u interested running on rug mr. cannon

Thanks Cannon
As i mentioned im am just trying to get an idea of how many people are interested.
The track size will be about the size of a tennis court.
There are still alot of things to be worked out before any decisions will be final hope this helps with your question and others

Glenn

Provided this is a legitimate post, I think the racers of Sydney would embrace the chance to race indoors on CARPET !!

Bring it out in the open, otherwise it's just another load of b/s

Hi the exact location will depend on numbers interested until then please stop asking as that is not why I posted this thread.
I just want to know if there is enough interest to make it viable

Thankyou

Glenn,

Racing on the rug will be awesome, but your giving some more details will let you know if its a viable thing. If the location is close by you will get a bunch of racers, when are you planning to run? Weekdays or Weekends etc etc

We have had promises of carpet racing before and has fizzled to nothing.

carpet racing would be good.

Glenn can you give us an idea of location? eg near a major centre?

South western sydney, north western>? penrith etc

Ok Julia

"JULIA" Crickey, Malaysia is a long way to go to race.

Barts / Wylie
Location is dependent on numbers is it really that important to know right now.
As most people own a car and if they wanted to drive on carpet they would travel the distance required.I would like to have it close to public transport as possible so those who dont can still come play
Depending on numbers will decide which night or weekends are run

Thanks Glenn

Thanks for your input muchly appreciated

Sweet man.

Like that movie if u build it they will come. 12th scale guys, wgt etc etc would love to have some carpet to run on in syndey area. Incase you didnt know weeknights u have SMA Tuesdays and Castle Hill Friday night. Weekends are fairly open.

Would it be a permanent track?

+1 about 12th loving it.

If you are going to build a permanent facility then you'll be paying rent 7 days a week, you might want to look into running 2 nights a week. One weeknight, and one weekend. As you can see you have people here interested in both.

I think the fact that people are asking you to declare this isn't a hoax tells you just how much interest there is here for this. Threads pop up all the time about potential new tracks in all types of places, and no one disbelieves them. But you mention carpet in a major population centre, and it's like you're promising Nirvana, no one is quite willing to believe in it.

If 'viable' has anything to do with commercial return, I can answer that for you. It ain't. Has been looked at many times, by many people (me included) and has also been tried by some, and has failed.

It's a shame, but I think our market is just too small to sustain. And whilst you'll hear lots of enthusiasm from people, whether or not they'll put their money where their mouth is and keep coming back week after week is another matter.

If on the other hand you're doing it for the love of the sport, and are prepared to tirelessly (and thanklessly) pour hundreds of hours into it (not to mention $1,000's of dollars) then go right ahead ;)

Cheers,
Scott

I can't see a track working as a business by a racer because they look at the wrong market. Providing for racers is not profitable.
