Keith, Joe and all of ECTA.
Wish I could be of help to you but the UK is a bit too far for East Coast racers to travel. I know exactly what effort you are having to put in on this facility hunt ...... over here in England we have a much smaller ground search area
.
Having worked for over three years to get a blue boat onto Coniston Water (to exceed 10mph) with support from the controlling bodies, I urge the ECTA membership to be patient whenever you get involved with political bodies.
The Monster Mile form of our speed sport is a great way to enjoy a weekend. I feel sure that the right team is working on the project and that John B is looking down on us all to ensure that a new facility is found.
