12th July Haynes Alternative . South West
« on: 03 Jun 23, 01:45 pm »
Hi All .   We have the use of a large section of concrete (WW2 Airfield) . Enough to layout a Circuit.
On Wednesday 12th July 2023. Full day. Porta loos on site. Unfortunately no camping or food facilities.

It will be a Fun relaxed day. Exclusive to us. Ideal for testing , Timed Sprint. etc . A closed event (not open to public ) . 

The address is Grandfields . Westonzoyland (MX track and Learner driver). Langport rd. Bridgwater . TA7 0DR.
Just off Junc 23/ 24 of M5 .

Please let me know if you are interested .

 Help / volunteers  would be most welcome on the day, No need to have a CKart finished or if thinking of building . This is the chance to see some in action.

Yes Chris I'm interested, hopefully I'll have made some progress with the reworking of the Morgan by then. If not I'll still come along and help, and combine it with a holiday in the area.

Hi All,

Chris, Glynn and Myself had trip to check out to the location tonight.

There is 7500 Sq m of prime concrete!

As Chris said there are loos and lots of space for pits etc.

The plan is to have a grub wagon call past or perhaps a BBQ where we could flip some burgers.

So why not come along and tryout a new venue.

We will be working on the planning and post update as and when available.

All the best

Ian

I'll bring a Gazebo, the means to make hot drinks and a fridge for cold drinks. The fridge isn't tall enough for 2l bottles, but it'll take 1l and cans.

I won't get chance to work on the Morgan, but I'll probably bring it "as is" just to give it a bit of a run, and prove it exists.

Evening All,
As the locals, we had a little planning call tonight.
Things are coming along for what should be an entertaining day at Westonzoyland.
Chris L is in liaison with the committee and formal invites should be out to members very soon.
But don't delay in making your plans for the 12th!
Attached is a very draft track plan for info.
All the best.
Ian

Would it be OK for a couple of friends who live in the area, to come along to see what it's all about?

Hi Chris, Check with the Clerk of the Course (Stefan) as I don't think this event allows spectators. They might be able to peep through the bushes or something maybe.
If you can drive round corners, you're not going fast enough.

Yes you are right Jim. It is a gates closed event . Simpler to manage .

 But we can bring Guests as long as pre registered .  Would that work for you Chris ?
