Hey Grav,

Are these Eco blocks those squares that Oulton have just over the kerb line? You know, just like those at Old Hall. We had one or two break up on us last season. Those one's give a little extra grip (off track) should they go a little wide.
Maybe they've been added into a few more places that didn't have them.

Eco Block is a range of products manufactured by Charcon. (Don't thank me for that, thank Yahoo!)The specific type refered to here may be Grassgrid; sounds like they may have replaced & extended the existing areas of Grasscrete...or it could be something completely different!

We kick off our season there wonder why they have not got us on the race calender or is club racing too lowly to get a mention, someold thing is'nt it if they cannot even be bothered to promote a club meeting on a website what chance do we stand on getting spectators to the track.

Very simply they only promote events where they take the gate money, if the organising club is taking the gate then advertising is their problem. Always seems a petty thing to me but the circuit will say why should I promote an event when the numbers attending don't affect the money I get in.

Oh that old turkey again, so it would really hurt or cost much to type a couple of lines on a webpage if I was a paying spectator living in the area the website would be the first place I looked for forthcoming events I am not talking about some massive press campaign, no wonder this sport is not what it should be and we pay so much to enter.

[chezza]

Depends how hard you try...DMN had some good publicity from MSV this week.

[flagwaver]

If only that was true. The gate money goes to the circuit not the club. The club has to print the programmes etc.

For most club meetings the only money the club gets is the entry fees.

[Matthews Dad]

So we poor marshals cant hide at Druids anymore without being in the eye of the paying public!

I'm sure it will be very popular for the spectators

Also the other change is the removal of the box at fosters so I've read somewhere over the winter.
