Smile NEW TRACK DESIGN

Hi Guys,
The coating we are talking about is Boral Topcoat. This is the same as is used at the ILLAWARA Club where they held the HPI Challenge last year.

Our track design will probably be a permanent layout and not a Multi layout. Remember that with a multi layout track the following needs to be addressed
1. Which track to use on a race night
2. Who will set up the track when the design is decided
3. who will drag all the temp barriers out.
4. who will pack it all away
5. where do we store all the gear required
Remember that at present, NO ONE will bother to grab the pit lights to hang them up, no one bothers with seeing if the track needs cleaning with the blower. Most people won`t even both to put there rubbish in the bins provided.

In short very few of the racers that attend offer any help, THIS IS NOT A CRITISISM OF ANY ONE, the facts are that we all tend to turnup and we are focused on our own Cars, Batteries, motors, setups etc. etc. and generally catching up with our mates. The last part is hopefully what this great hobby is all about, FUN and MATESHIP.
Anyway I`ve ranted enough....
