Re: NEW BUGGY TRACK OPENS THIS SUNDAY - 14TH JUNE
Hi all,
I have to say what an awesome Track......probably the best Track I've ever Raced on!
A Bunch of us from Hinckley(Dale, Ben, Jb, Paul & me) ended up taking part in the Regional Meeting at Robin Hood Raceway last Sunday, which turned out to be a fantastic days Racing!
The Weather could'nt have been any better & there was a decent turnout of Racers(9 Heats, inc 3 Guest Heats). The Photo & Video that I'd previously posted on here really did'nt do the Track the justice it deserves, the Circuit was of epic proporsions(averageing around 30seconds per Lap), there were 2 different grades of Astro-Turf, one quite thick & the other like a Bowling Green, that had been joined together perfectly.....the Guys at this Venue had really done an awesome job of constructing this Track!
It was the usual 4 Qualifying Rounds with your best 2 to Count, followed by Finals. As the day progressed, the grip-levels changed, making it very Challenging to all Drivers. All in all we all had a really good laugh & a great days Racing........I'll definately be going back there again in the future!
Here are some Photos of our Cars, during the Finals at Robin Hood last Sunday(14th June) :
Theres also a Video Link from Sunday as well :
