Meeting sounds asif it went well:

Just back in from the meeting and it went very well - well supported by local drivers and a few from other parts of the North West. Quite a few registrations on the night on the night with people mentioning that there are others who will register but couldn't make the meeting. Very positive feedback from all drivers who were there and all of us who have offered our services to help get this great track back up and running for at least the next 2 seasons, hopefully. Many thanks to John for all the hard work he's put in so far, I'm sure he'll be on here in the next few days with an update.

Yes, I was very pleased with the turnout of drivers last night and people offering to help.

I just need all the drivers who registered to pay the first installment of their subs (£25) by the end of January and we will be in business. I will be at the Red River Club again on Tuesday night (29th) between 7-9 pm to collect subs (cheques please), or if not you can post me a cheque.

Cheers.

John

Just been on pewi.nl which is a foreign site for bangers/all oval racing across the water and theres a little mention of barrow! they also have a link to tads' site

There has been a glitch with TADS website over the last few days and it has not been updated so sorry for that.

Just to confirm that Driver Subs. will be collected on Tuesday night (29th Jan.), at the Red River Club again between 7-9 pm.

We will have a Prize Draw for Drivers at 9 o'clock for 20 cans of lager with all drivers who have paid their subs. included.

Cheers,

John

For those with eternal hope of re-opening some good news !

I have had contact off a UK short oval promoter who is serious about re-opening the track. I have offered him my complete support and he has already been in contact with the owners of the site.

I will let you know more as soon as I can.

fingers crossed for D.P lol

would be good to see it open again i speak to a lot of banger drivers and have asked about pepole doin barrow meetins every one that ive spoke to said they would be happy to go but not just for one lap week after week as cost a lot of money to travil down so lookin good about gettin drivers there from my end

to be honest jim i reckon if it started up again it wouldn't be how it used to on the old "turn up do a lap go home" front. the folk who used to do the stupid hits (not naming any names) probably wont start racing again. i think it would be great to have a Barrow Vs Gmp head to head but scotland is too far uphill!

is there still a GMP too far uphill is a poor excuse dave

sod the thread...i want that avatar lol!

she wants you too Dave

Those gals will be auditioning for Race Queens in the next few weeks at The Red River Club

i just hope it is girls
