QUOTE (Steve D @ 21 Jul 2009, 20:57)  What a lovely place, if only we had somewhere like that in the UK!!! Mate...we did...at Staverton in Wiltshire. There was room for a 1000ft Drag Strip, BSCRA 4-lane circuit, Scalex circuit, HO circuit as well as a Slot-Stox oval. However, having installed the BSCRA circuit we've been told that the owners plan to raise what was an old Social Club to the ground to make way for additional generators and stuff to serve the factory on that land. So we've gotta get out, possibly by September!! So if anyone has or knows of some useable space in Wiltshire that ideally accommodates a 60' Drag Strip plus the other circuits mentioned, then I'd truly love to hear from you. We'd even consider two venues if it meant we could erect our tracks either permanently (i.e. the BSCRA circuit) or very quickly on the night (e.g. Scalex, Slot-Stox, Drag Strip etc).

Hi Robin, I'd heard that such a shame. Good luck with the hunt for new premises.

AMAZING! Congratulations guys, all routed tracks as well. I would love to have a go on that HO track and the tri-oval.
It's the sort of place I imagine when I dream about winning the lottery. Out of interest is it commercially viable, does it rely on the retail business or is it purely a commercial raceway? Would love to know not that it could be done in the UK, the tax man would see to that. Well done. |

i could see it being commercially viable in the uk given the right location tracks and the like but im sure the retail side of it brings the bulk of the money
