i don't know how much the height difference between 1/10th and 1/8th buggies is, but if you can put a bar across the track at such a height that 1/8th will hit it and 1/10th will miss it, then can take it off for race days, that might work? That way 1/8th couldn't use the track at all, and 1/10th could practice whenever they wanted (albeit with a slight inconvenience i guess)
Bit hard to make something that 1/10th can and 1/8th can't get past. Just have to block everyone when club days aren't on.

Its always a case of the few ruining it for the many...

Yeah this is the option that Castle Hill is probably going to have to use, however St Ives Council won't let them do this as they still want to allow the kids with their Tamiya Jet Hoppers etc to play there.
