^ yes and the green line on the eastern border is actually the shore line - the proposed track will be sea side!

is that the most recent evoloution to paddle shift technology?

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ LOL @ paddle shift

There will be a major noise issue with residences nearby a track.

(lets be honest... IF this comes to fruition... ppl will be racing everyday and night)

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ and the structure to the south west of the map is the building leading to the temple by the sea - so residence plus place of worship.

But all this aside, the important thing here is that TTASA has a plan drafted and the gov't has a directive authorised to build a facility - that is much more than we've ever had before.

cant wait to run my car in drags


GREAT NEWS

[djaggs]

This is very funny, about 2 months ago I asked a friend who works at National Helicopters to enquire for me from someone at the Camden airstrip about the possibility of them allowing us use of the strip to run a Solodex event.

The guy (from Briko) laughed sarcastically and said, "that will never happen,"

I thought his response was pretty stupid.

I wonder who laughing now.

I would like to congratulate TTASA for getting what everyone (myself included) thought impossible.

I have just one gripe and that is after looking at the proposed track on page 1, TTASA has not even considered a drag racing track and they seem to only be putting one in as an after thought.

For the next year they will be using drag racing to raise money to start this new project but yet they have not even put in much thought for a long straight that drag racers may use.

It seems like they only used drag racing's name to get what they want from the Govt. and now that they have it they will see where they can incorporate it into the grand plan of things.

Drag racing has the most participants and spectators, they have used drag racing as a means to get what they want but yet have not even shown the racers enough respect to put a drag strip into the initial plans.

If I am wrong I am sorry, but I am only going on what I see on the initial plans.

please say you are sorry........
a dragstrip is there as part of the combined surface of the facility.........because it has not been shown means what ?..exactly??
certaintly not what u premise above without even a confirmatory call to anyone......& yr ready comdemnation...
it's there, planned & a certainty...let's move step by step here........
Camden first, Orange Valley Motorsports facility after.
Everything we do now is geared toward making this Motorsport complex reality. Keep your perspectives properly aligned.

Duane..& others...
the Google maps are aligned to North.........
that means as u look at the images...West is on the left......the coastline is left & the building at lower left is the Orange Valley Fishing Depot. The Temple by the sea is about 2miles north & out of this image field.

NO hotel...(hint) or fast food (go Couva)

^ oh ok - sorry - there is a jetty going out to the sea - bad assumption

not a jetty........rock foundation with roadway...u can drive right out to the end...& collect your 20lbs of jumbo shrimp
..

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ a PM? no - try sending it again

does the water come up to the shore next to the track as a beach or is there a drop?

That's one major plus for that village, in addition to creating some employment during construction

Link, as Duane asked, would coastal erosion overtime be a problem seeing that this facility would be so close to the sea?
What about the effects of any sea blast (if any) on the facility itself after it is built?
Also will there be an issue about the noise seeing the southern most end will be so close to the village?
Lastly, are there any finalised spectator entrances/exits away from the populated area (eg: to the north where the cane fields are) or would racers and spectators have to pass through the village (fishing depot road) to get in/out (congestion)?

sheltered gulf coast, no currents & easy to stabilise into a bathing beach

prevailing winds are from the east..ie blowing toward the sea...minimum sea effect & noise carrying inland

Lastly, are there any finalised spectator entrances/exits away from the populated area (eg: to the north where the cane fields are

none yet finalised, but...
there are 4 existing access routes on the east boundry (which is the Waterloo Road) & the north boundry is an access road. There are two access routes on the south boundry (which is Bay Road to the fishing depot) & use will be limited.

Link what is the lenght of the circuit track, start line to finish line?

[TriniVdub]

Hmmm is it just me or has anyone really taken a good look at the proposed pics provided for the circuit track? because in the picture i can clearly see its in a residential neighborhood, so i can only guess when word reaches to them they are all gonna kick up a fuss about the track. Evn though i've been wanting a racetrack for so long in T&T unfortunately i will have to agree with those people, i think its way too close to the housing communities.

shud be 1.5 miles

look at USA & europe........
every community is happy that a racetrack is near them because of the POSITIVE IMPACT on the quality of life there.......
..
Orange Valley has been stagnant for more than 10years.......and they are not stupid......they'll be able to appreciate the opportunities here

true, some people even live just feet away from the tracks in europe

I agree with both your points... but as an engineer... I implore you not to overlook those two concerns. You still hadda take them into consideration when designing.

Remember we thinking long term...

on the contrary, because there is a 'minimum' effect, application of 'direct effect' precaution will ensure ultra-long durability...

Link I will not say I am sorry, I applaud what you guys have done and gotten but NEVER forget that you got this on the back bone of Drag racing, from the countless racers to the spectators.

Someone took the time to design the layout of the track but yet somehow they forgot to place a drag strip inside, yes it will be done later on but why could they not have taken to time to design it with everyone in mind from the start?

good work trinituner !!

I'm looking forward to the 28th

[Maserati]

yeah true had something like that.
and work out some special deals like a family will get a special price, kids free stuff like that.
