Aintree Festival future?
As I understand the situation the organisers would like a July or August date in 2005. This would resolve the freezing temperatures - well possibly! The issue of 'racing round the full circuit' is another thing. From my knowledge of the venue the major costs will be:
a) the two Melling Road crossings
b) the safety aspects of the first corner
c) the speed down Railway Straight
On the other hand there is the club circuit which would be a far easier to get up to the required standards. The club circuit has been used for many years for sprinting and currently hosts three sprints and two track days.
2005 Date:
23 April The Spring Sprint
28 May Track Day
25 June Summer Sprint
03 September National Sprint (Rd British Sprint Championship)
01 October Track Day
As a member of Liverpool Motor Club who run these events I can heartily recommend them especially the September Sprint which attracts the cream of British Sprinters.
