Hi everyone not long now until we go indoor's. I have been given the job of sorting out the new track marker's and bring our club up to date! Can I have people's opinion's on what they would like and where I can get it from? I was thinking White gutter down pipe for the main track marker's with high visibility tape on top, wood for straight joiner's and tee pieces.

I vote box sectioned pipe, then you will just bounce off rahter than getting stuck under a round pipe.
and flexy flappy ends please

roughly the size of the touring car,
each square is 2x2m, as there are 6 rolls of carpet that are 2m wide.... Im pretty sure they are 2m wide anyway

Finally have had the flapper plastic delivered to my place so will work on the measurements over the next few evenings. This way Jamie and myself should be able to construct the majority of it off site and then just put it together on the first race night. We are defiantly on for the Miller Mile now. If anyone has a preference of one of the layouts of Rueben's above for the event please post on here and that will be the one we build next. I was going to start on track 2 as it looks the one with less cutting. Maybe try this on a club night and then build the Miller Mile one next (was thinking easy first ? Anyone with any input or wanting to help out is more than welcome as we want it to be right for everyone. |

This is a grid paper I made that is the exact size of the carpets if anyone want to jot anything down. 1 square is 10cm in real size. Attachments:
