Looks like the off-road track is going to be on grass from the pics on facebook.

maybe snetterton should take a leaf out of silverstones book and bring back and offroad rc track, would certainly improve the area and there is plenty of room for it

I like your thinking!

To be honest I would happily pay £10 for the use of those facilities.

Do grass tracks last though?

[Garry]

Not with regular use. Clubs that have grass tracks tend to put out a layout and run for a short while, then move the layout to less worn parts to get the grass recover. Judging by some talk on oOple, that grass area will be too small for 1/10th electric buggy racing, never mind 1/8th nitro.

Will us nitro lot actually get a look in on this or are we deserted?

[Garry]

Deserted? There are loads of permenant outdoor nitro tracks in the UK.

It does look pretty diddy.. The BRCA standards for a 1/8 Nitro track is minimum length of 250m and width 4 metres. From the pic it doesn't seem anywhere near that big

Nope! lol..as Garry said, not with regular use...i would of thought they would of made this Astro to be honest....they could hold meets all year round then with minimal disruptions...

[goldblades7]

why the hell is everyone struggling to find pics of the tracks?
surely they should be showcasing to the masses!
if the prices include use of all the tracks then i dont think its too bad
but most people would want to see what its like before paying that sort of money
cmon lets ave a look please!!!!!!!!!!!
