We Went to have a look At the Scammonden road yesterday, it's bloody steep and it's going to be realy fast. The corners are very savage and the almco is everywhere we don't want it. We decided the possibility of racing on it was out but it might be good as a time trial. And it realy does need a lot of protection.
After we'd been there we went and did some top runs down both sides of Home Moss. The first run Jamie's and myown truck's were to tight and jamie went round every corner on the wrong side of the road, head on into the busy traffic, and i binned it at the last hairpin which was fun.
Any way back to the point, We discussed the different way's of protecting the scammonden road. It would cost a fortune to bail it and using that amount of bail's would turn out to be very inefficient because of the hidden costs of transporting them and storing them. We aggreed some areas could be boarded but that wouldn't be enough as there is no runout between the almco and the road.
We decided that we need to get some inflateable tubing a bit like long bouncy-castle sausages which could be easily transported and would probably turn out a lot cheaper than bale's in the long run. In order for us to get these sorts of thing's, we need to get the BGSA up and activly running for this we need CASH.

So all those who want to join and want to see more races being organised, should get there sub's paid, Chris said there is an ideal oppertunity in 2 weeks time.

See you all in Traws
