Just wondering if anyone ever approached them about holding practice days?
I know the track is pretty tight in places but there are a couple of good corners in it, wouldn't be to bad of a spot for practicing anyway.
Here's a pic taken from google earth...

Anyone got any places around the midlands to practice in? Need to practice before I try mondello or other spots
I think Robert from drift fest spoke to them last year
Don't think he got anywhere with them.
Ah right, not much parking there either, I'll tip over some of the days and have a chat with them anyway for the craic
Tight little track. Be nice to see something midlands based happening!
Way to tight if you ask me, Decent kart track though.
yeah as tight as a duck's arse but it'd be alright for a bit of practice, doubt they'd open it up though
Was only there once but from memory i think the actually track was narrow enough. Could be mistaken tho!!
Yeah it's narrow on the back straight and last 3 corners before the pit exit but apart from that its not too bad.
Why don't use get together and find somewhere in the
Midlands it's not right that u guys have ta drive half way
Round the country just for somewhere da drift
Don't sit around chatting about it get it sorted out
I'd say they wouldn't go for it, they keep the place fairly well up there a drift day would have it wrecked I'd say. Sweet track though!
Pal of mine asked when we were up there one day, they said they can't let anything bigger than a kart out or the council will close them!
I've been there a good few times karting, it's a good sized karting track but it wouldn't work for drift days.
You could drift on it but a drift day with 30 cars would tear the grass up imo
Not much room for mistakes:wink:
Ah I know, wasn't thinking about that many anyway, just thinking of somewhere near for a bit of practice.
anyone know if that karting track in roscommon that used to allow a bit of drifting is still open?
Great track for karting, but you have no space there, that car park would fill up very quickly with vans and trailers, some cool track, and i always wondered who crashed the plane there haha
Can someone start this enquiry again for me and lets see what happens ,if they want a meeting Ill travel up,Robert ,Driftfest.Quote:

Still be very good fun for 4 or 5 cars but it would be a logistical nightmare organising a trackday with upto forty cars. Pits would end up being on the back straight as the first corner is the only entrance onto the track for cars and carpark would be full in no time.
Never been there but it would be far too tight, sure they cant even race gearbox karts there. The lads would be wanking the gear lever lol
def too small n tight for a track day, parking would be a big issue too, I was just thinking about it for a few lads to practice on..
Robert, I think its a no go in terms of a track day anyway, as most of the lads said the track itself is too tight in places for a good few cars and parking would be a problem, I'll have a chat with them anyway and see if they are allowed to have cars on the track or not, I'll be searching for other possible places as well in the coming weeks :afro:Quote:
