[Tipsy]

Excellent idea Tyler. Let me know what you think.

[racingdowantheM64]

[racingdowantheM64]

what about http://www.halifaxtrack.co.uk instead

[tylerdurden]

well i must have drove about 100 miles today, i havent been to the track before and i couldnt find it!! the map on batley buggy club website must be incorrect, it was nowhere to be seen. i started off in dewsbury made my way to huddersfield and then back again. i didnt see any sign post pointing to its location or maybee i just cant read maps!! what is it near? is it near the sewage works that i drove past 6 times? what pub is it near? i'll try to find it again next weekend when im day off.

Did you search for the outdoor or indoor track?[]

Hey Tyler. It is located on the A638 just behind Spenborough swimming baths. If you are coming from Bramley, I would recommend taking the M621 up to the showcase exit. Take the A62 towards Huddersfield(passing showcase). Drive along A62 down the hill through Birstall. Then climbing back up the hill towards Heckmondwike (pass paint manufacturer on right) go through set of lights and road levels, then starts to fall again. Go through next set of lights (small garage on left) and as you go down the hill. At set of lights at the bottom, the road crossing is the A638 (left to dewsbury, right to Cleckheaton). Turn right, you should see a pub facing you called "The Swan" at the lights. Follow the road along about 3/4 of a mile and look out for the swimming baths on the left, slightly set back. Take the turning just after the baths and follow it into the carpark. Track is at far bottom corner of the carpark!!.

Alternatively. Take M621 and join M62. Take Exit 26 (next exit after showcase), and take second exit off roundabout, marked A638 Cleckheaton/Dewsbury. Follow this road through the main town, and pass the lights in the centre, then along for about 1 mile, and as you go along the dual carriageway, keep your eyes peeled for the swimming baths on the right. (Should see a running track just as you join dual carriageway). Baths are the next right turn after the running track turning.

Hope you can understand these!

PS If its the sewage works I can think of (Cooper Bridge),you would of passed a Little Chef a bit before. You had passed the turning about 5 miles before!!

Problem with Halifax track is it is onroad, although a good track. But im happy to drive offroad on it. Can we use it without letting anyone know??

[tylerdurden]

DOH!!!![:I] i think that must have been the only road i went down!! it was my brothers car, i had borrowed it, ill take a look at going by train next time!![]

[rcracerpete]

Sorry to hear that!![]

[tylerdurden]

i have the next 4 days off work so im gonna go up today, see if i can find it again[] going by train to dewsbury and then by bus to cleckheaton.....[] ill be there hopefully about 2:30ish[:I]

[tylerdurden]

belive it or not, but my supershot has been stripped and cleaned but its bad news for the technigold, its a gonner[xx(]

[Tipsy]

What happened to the motor Andy?? Can it be repaired?

I bet the missus told you to get the car cleaned[]

[tylerdurden]

well, she went mental[!] good news on the technigold, it still works!![8D] the endbell was packed with grass and muck, after i cleaned that up i put it back together, tested it by connecting a batt and hey presto!! when are you planning on going to the track again?[]

[Tipsy]

I might be back on Monday. The missus is out for the day, and I have 8 charged packs waiting for a run[]. This time im taking a few Tamiya with me too

[tylerdurden]

oh no!! i cant make it monday ive too much on, off to my mums and im off to get a new television as my old one went pop[xx(] today!! i can maybe go next sunday with a clean supershot although a bit squeaky, some of the bearings have ceased. i think ill be taking my blackfoot when i go, i love that truck!![]
