Just to keep you updated on this one,

There is indeed a proposal going through to get a car track built, I made initial enquiries with the BRCA after first hearing this story, they had heard about it but could not confirm anything.

Since then there has been a story in the local press to get this organised by a local lady whose son died in tragic shed fire at the local park where the track is to be set up. (Not his fault I might add, the offender was caught)

I used to work with the elder brother of the poor lad who died and he is very much into r/c stuff and organised an r/c meet on a local bank holiday occasion, he knew about the Skyline I built and it appeared at the meet but was not allowed to run because of the strict H&S regs in force then. Sadly I was working at the time otherwise it would have been cleared.

Needless to say the car still made the Spotlight just by being there, My nephew had it on film with all the kids recognising from the film.

Anyway back to the story, the Track is being proposed as part of a project known as Dan's Den (named after Daniel Cleverely and his poor girlfriend that died in the fire) they are looking for volunteers and helpers to run it, needless to say I will be getting involved.

I will keep you posted with the developments.

Regards.....Mark.
