Has there ever been a test done on the air pollution when it's busy down there? I know a few people in the area selling their houses now while they can.

Derek Flint Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 The access road is an issue which is in need of a major rethink, rather than just trying to improve something that is beyond broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they let one of the kindergarten classes draw up the plans on that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy. Or what about a big ramp and jump, like those Hot Wheels tracks? It could become more of a spectator interest than the races. The QB roundabout is just too small, it needs to be a lot bigger to keep the traffic flowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee Cee Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 LightBulb asks why do we have to have an access road at Quarter Bridge. Well we don't. The access road uses an old railway bridge to get under the circuit. It was done on the cheap, and we have paid the price ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the stinking enigma Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I have never used the access road. I don't see why I should pay for it. They'd be better off spending the money on widening the scollag road. I can barely average 95 mph going down that some days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
