Can you give us some more information on the possible places please?
Location/cost to hire etc would be very helpful.
And let us know who you are if possible - are you a BHPC Member?

Hello.
Well there is an aerodrome at perranporth. That might suit. Gets windy as it's out on the cliffs.
They will certainly be approachable.

There's a campsite right opposite too.

No I'm not a member just a lone rider.....

Feel free to approach them and let us know if they would be interested and what the cost would be to hire the track for a day.

Looking at the website it's in use for cars 7 days a week with various activities. I just did a quick mileage calculation for me in the midlands: 640 mile round trip would mean £115 in fuel. That's a bit steep even for a weekend of racing which I doubt would be available.

Yep… probably very unlikely.

They are pretty cool.
They do all sorts of events and there are disused areas .
I will pop in and see them some point this week and see if they are interested.
The cars mostly just use the main drag strip.
Don't know until you ask...

WOOHOO PERRANPORTH AREODROME ARE AVAILABLE

The event organiser says highly likely for a days racing. I asked for a campsite area and some tarmac so early November I can go and view the place.
I asked for a tarmac loop possibly around the outside of the airfield and he seems ok with it.
I'll post up news accordingly if the club wants me to investigate further..

We’d need to be sure the surface is suitable and the track is safe. We tend to only race on purpose built tracks rather than trying to make up tracks from perimeter roads etc.
Access by the public or an adjacent event would be tricky insurance wise.
Definitely worth investigating and getting prices though.
