QUOTE (Fergy @ 4 Nov 2004, 18:37)Is it my imagination though, or are a couple of guys in the pits in one pic trying to fire up a 1/4 scale RC car to send out on the track?....
No you are right

There is alot of humour buried around the track, including the 'redlight' area built into the start gantry, which is not so obvious from the pics but is complete with scantily clad women. You will also see 'Nessie' making like a worm from 'Dune' in one pic, headed for the lake.
Astro - the track decor struck me as minimalist and designed to be functional so there is no scenery where it can be damaged by marshalls.
In addition there are two other rooms, one for tuning with benches all round and the other is a small, well stocked bar and kitchen with away from track seating so you can take a break. The grandstand of the track is a small raised area with seating for about 6 people. All in all a VERY relaxing and friendly place full of light hearted competitive atmosphere.
A good thing too because, of course, neither joergs OR myself are in the least bit competitive ourselves
