eichkay; unfortunately to come under local safety regulations, neighbours privacy, cost and all that council jargon it had to be replaced new for old.

P.S. Thank you to RavenCooCoo for the drain work after the "Canyon" it saved my car multiple times tonight. But I still managed to break my car

Umm well main reason why I said what I did was its hardly close to AARCMCC regulation of 2.4m (Im aware VIC doesn't run under AARCMCC), going by the photos its looking more like 1.6m maybe 1.7m assuming the guys in the photos are around 6ft.
Just seems odd to rebuild a stand that low

When the draft AARCMCC regulations were circulated last year, the 2.4m high stand was an issue raised by several people. For large 1/8 scale tracks I think it is fine; for 1/10 tracks it seems excessive and most clubs I know of would not comply! The rules also call for the stand to be 2m away from the track, with overhead protection from the weather. Unless you are running a nats, I cant see anyone changing their stand to comply with these regs.
West Coast is in the fortunate position of being on private land. With the Knox track on public council property, the red tape is an order of magnitude more difficult....
The club has been through real cr@p for the past 12 months just to get a stand, so for Melbournites its great news to see it back up and running!

Maybe we could just dig and lower the track by 1.2m, but then we might strike Texas Tea and that could mean more red tape!
