Garry Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) I know the guys, private enterprise, with really good intentions. The spray bitumen was just laid today as far as I know. If I remember correctly, its on 35 rai of land and more of a short circuit design. More to come. Edited June 12, 2013 by Garry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) I think they're intent on having small bike dragracing there as well. The crazy Thai guys and those screaming, gutted out 2 strokes. Edited June 12, 2013 by Garry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mania Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Looks like a really tight track...motards maybe? I think it is just the angle of that shot. Also tracks need tight section if not it is just a HP race & very boring But here is a full shot from their FB page. If they stick to this it does seem to have plenty of straight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is on 35 Rai of land and not 35 acres, so its compact 35 rai is tiny for sure. Is that the size of the whole facility or just the track.

Garry Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 All we can do is give it a chance to work and give it some custom. Always room for more development 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRS1 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Hey Garry maybe since you know them you can talk them into adding a few strips as an alternative. Im sure it would bring more big bike guys in, its kinda hard to find fast flowing places to ride in the mountains.

Some pics look better I'm sorry..... But that looks worse! Just look at that huge bank that could bring you and your heart to a sudden stop. Still the grass looks nice on the inside 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still the grass looks nice on the inside True although I do not know where on the track that is or if it poses a risk in relation. But I will say everything I have heard so far does suggest it is a smaller type bike track. Although they have many pics of larger cc bikes. Looking at the layout it does not suggest a higher speed/ bigger bike type track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
