Possibility of Circuit Racing at Wallerfield by Sept 2013!!!

[cacasplat3]

Kicking motorsport out of wallerfield was a blessing.

It showed the real TTASA

very true.

[Ignorant Ignis]

so if this does materialise as a leg of the international race of champions i hope we dont end up with another international embarrasment the way rally trinidad ended..... would be nice to see the event hosted by autosport promotions in conjunction with gmrc and the bmc actually running the event.

seein is believin........

Good write up Duane, if prefer some news and some hope than no news and no hope...........

*head off to but lotto ticket*

If this don't work out, I'll build my own track

[Mr. Red Sleeper]

^^Building your own track will be the least of your worries....

Are there any current pics of Wallerfield available?

[professor]

I thought that I would not see a Circuit Racing track in TT until I was really old and in a wheel chair, can I cancel my order ?

Think it had some in this thread:

viewtopic.php?f=62&t=465273&start=90

Check pg 4.

Sleeper: I hear you, but I often seriously consider this as an option.

I don't have the capital to put out for something like this unfortunately, but if I did and could get over the political hurdles to make it happen................it would be a cash cow..............

Nice looking forward to hearing and seeing these developments. Hopefully it should be underway...

was not aware you can cancel an order of old. don't you already have an AWD wheelchair?

[X2]

Ok... I'll be a sucker and believe this will happen.

If it does... I'm there like a bear.

[JDM_GUY]

I cant wait to put my self on a proper course...

[DEVI]

fingers crossed...hmmm roll cage in the swift??

[Dragist]

Any idea of what Circuit cars are prepped/available to compete , as I heard with loosing Wallers most were left for dead no interest in keeping them shiny and lubed .

[MANIAC]

^ I am sure that if this do come to pass .. then all those Circuit Cars will be restored for racing .. they cant be begging for a track to race on and then dont prep the cars for racing .. that will be just dumb of them but then again .......

[Dragist]

Yanno these ppl nah , would like to see Tanko Roti , Carrington Mirage/Evo beast , Franklyn Honda Chinee man Lotus , S Singh Roti , and lots of others mix it up again even though I am more of a Drag man I never missed Circuit Racing .

[W2J]

[DEVI]

^ i believe most of the guys kept their cars ready...Ravi Singh, Priest, Tanko, Junior Phillips and Amit Nanan are regular racers in Guyana...Gerrard C has a new evo project i think, Jody Ali has his subaru 666, Buddit has an Evo 9 that was piloted by Ryan Peyrau Nov last year in Guyana, Nizam still has his civic ,brings it out at D&W now and again and Kristian Bhodoosingh has a Starlet Circuit car he's building right now...i'd say we in real good shape

[crazybalhead]

teknet have a circuit monster too.

[suzieboy]

Lol cars/competitors wudnt be an issue. Given the thirst level for racin and availability of parts now-a-days trinis cud put together anyting in no time.

All this talk of just racing, please lets all be reminded of what happened last year without a proper management structure, this is just as important as having a well prepped car to survive a day of racing.

AutoSport is the only local Motorsport organisation that is contracted to stage professional events outside Trinidad but is constrained to demonstrate their talent locally outside of Drag & Wind because of bureaucracy and hate by some who contribute nothing, and at a further cost to drivers who deserve much value for their time and money invested.

anything about Drags? word is that the North Track may just need cleaning and track preparation...

I'm sure Autosport already HAVE ALL the infrastructure in place to do a drag event , which in turn can be the * kick-start* of the autodrome once more..

The north track needs a lot more work than what you mentioned. The concrete surface is cracked up bad enough to prevent a safe running of a drag racing event with high horsepower cars. I don't feel comfortable driving on that surface at more than 60km/h and that is in an econobox sedan.

this is true...the north track is dilapidated and very unsafe for drag racing.

Can I ask you sirs, how many accidents happened at Camden and how many drivers were actually injured.

And ask the same question re Waller Field both North and South when in use?

Do you expect a track that has NOT been used for 7 years to be race ready because you are race-ready?

[cornfused]

Very pertinent question. When this topic was breached I knew that this would come up in discussion . Suffice to say that that the racing surface at Camden can in no way compare with the surface over the years at Wallers , more so in the later years at Wallerfield . Racing two cars with quite different power levels has show us that .

Yes the surface will need some works but the base structures , gradient and seams in the concrete are much better at Wallers. Why do all cars seem to run on avg .5 to 1 second faster in St. Lucia ? This shows how poor the surface at Camden is . Also the rate of accidents per facility is also not for comparison how many years Wallers was in use and the avg number of accidents .

It may be the season for mamagism , but we can hope .

[FugiTECH]

Dont Forget the amount of TRACK COMPOUND (Trackbite) applied, contributes a bit also. Major things needed for Maximum safety and good results

(1)A decent surface
(2) Full 1320 of Track Compound
(3) Concrete Side Barriers all the way down.

Camden only had feature #(2) when Sheldon them put their own compound and did High 6's

they'll be ready certainly. ive seen men rebuild engines overnight to get racing the next day.

the issue is if they're opening it for just this one event, then trinidad is gona get schooled. some of the guyanese and jamaicans have gone so far ahead of us its not funny...

the south eastern entrance (by the chicane) was always open for the squatters living there, will it was last time i checked in march. I have been offshore for the past 3 months but the circuit was always in good condition from what i saw. its about time they let us back in since absolutely nothing major was being done @the circuit. LETS SEE HOW LONG WE GOT IT FOR IF WE GET IT. PNM COMING BACK IN 2015 OR SOONER SO YEA F@C MOTOR RACING AGAIN SMH
