I can't say I did any damage, no big jumps there and my buggy understeered too much to make use of the narrow track, so I was gone after about 10 minutes.
If that is an issue, I wasn't aware of it at the time, so the best solution to get rid of _some_ of the people you don't want on your track is a notice board saying that it's for 1/10 scale or electric only due to noise restrictions etc, and state what the council fine is - you know, like the parks have - dumping of rubbish prohibitied, $100 fine applies. that type of thing.
I'd help on track maintenance if I was running there in any way.
Cheers, Oggy.
Theres a few points I'll address briefly here.
Noticeboard- if the youth of the area didn't destroy every thing in sight this may be an option
You may not have thought that running the buggy on the track hurt anything, and one buggy for a short period of time probably didn't do much, but 5 or 6 cars regularly is a different story. Particularly when they, like all of us, are somewhat obsessed with getting on the gas as much as possible.
The gas cars at Castle Hill aren't able to be banned as they are able to be used on race day and as such there isn't any reason, from the Councils point of view anyway, that they shouldn't be able to run during the week.
It doesn't surprise me that you didn't enjoy it much either, the place is so tight for a 1/8th scale that you'd hardly get to touch the gas...boring. I'm guessing that its just too far out to Liverpool to the 1/8th track for these guys to travel.
