Indoor racing is very popular as it can take place in the evening at any time of year - irrespective of the weather! We race at the William Knibb Centre (click on the name to the left for a map), Alfred Street, Kettering on a Friday evening, starting at 7pm, with the emphasis on fun, but with a great deal of very close racing taking place! We race in the gym on the first floor of the Centre, which you get into from the car park nearest to Victoria Street, then go in through the door in the right hand corner of the car park and up the stairs. Racing is on "PermaTrack" carpet laid on woodblock floor covering an area of approximately 12m x 15m, with square section guttering used to create the track design. AMBrc handout transponders are used, or you can run a personal transponder to time the races and count your laps, so there's never any arguing about who won.
There are a number of regular track layouts we use, click on an image below to see each track larger size and with more information. The rostrum consists of a number of specially made boxes.
Track Records Someone was asking a little while ago about track records, so I've decided that we'll try and start collecting them, so here we go:
