Anyone know anything about this??????
If so, who will be attending the meating?????
Just the public, Airport owner, council??? any ideas.
I would like more info on this before i send this message to my mates only to find out it's a load of crap
Thanks

It was a bit un organised....But had a huge turn out.

They said they are going to try and oganise another meeting same time same place next week but its not comfirmed.

Hope it works out and people arent turned off from this week and still make the effort.

Just have to wait for a new txt I guess......

I do not know, but I believe usually these tracks start as 1/8 mile , and if they prove to be succesfull and able to control high speed cars, they can get permission to go for 1/4 mile.
As 1/4 mile is much more length and high speed risks than 1/8 mile.

Usually a temorary facility is 1/8th mile only so that would be ny guess. To make a 1/4 mile track you need much more and better safety barriers etc.

According to this site . NO.....................
http://sera.kicks-***.net/index.php

Please don't go to Tooradin airfield next week (12th Sept.), as the owner is getting rather irate with the influx of people. For the time being, just use this as our central meeting place.
Please forward all ideas and suggestions via this forum for the time being, and we'll get something sorted out for you as soon as we can.
