That food truck has an awesome name. Thanks for covering the UK so those of us, including here in Australia can enjoy.

[@bradkalman2353]

You guys should do a petition with other RCS to keep that track going.

[@bradkalman2353]

I can't wait to see you revive that old track.

[@daviddollerup4654]

Great video - thank you for sharing👍 Like the pit lane interviews; drivers showing their modified Tamiya cars✨ - and love the camaraderie😊

[@daysofnick]

Carl & Mark keep it up mates, the steps are getting steeper. Keep it up your making us happy love popalong

[@PopalongRC]

Cheers buddy Glad you enjoy the show

[@jamespotter3334]

Love the Rover sd1 body at 5:44!

[@dalejohn3233]

I want a breakfast baguette.🤤

[@PopalongRC]

Me too

[@KCRC-SLC]

Ahh mates! I don't have any tracks close to me but I am going to find one I can take an overnight trip to or something! I very much enjoy these vids

[@HyperRC.]

That is a shame I race at shmcc

[@user-xv4tt2nt7w]

People need group together keep the track open

[@davidj1815]

Come on Jenson. Keep your father's track alive!

[@PopalongRC]

Would be great if he did …

[@PopalongRC]

Do it #jensonbutton

[@alexmills7447]

Have you seen the new AMAIN track in the US, they posted a video a few weeks ago on their KZbin. Very impressive facility.

[@Marco_Vulpine]

Carl needs an assitant to let him know when to race! lol

[@PopalongRC]

True 😂👍

[@Arwel22597]

Man, I really hope this place stays open. Wonder if Jenson would do anything if he knew. Quite surreal to see my car running on your channel boys not gonna lie and seeing my old man on the rostrum in the background 😂, been watching since '22. Really hope to see you at Chippenham. (Hopefully this time both Mark n my old man make the timing line this time). Good luck in the future events lads! You'll know we'll be watching.

[@PopalongRC]

That would be nice

[@lo2713]

I know loads of people who have missed a heat, its easly done. Its a shame the track may not be there for next year, someone should give Jenson a shout to see if he can help save it.

[@PopalongRC]

Would be good to get in touch with him for sure, there are way to many on road track closures unfortunately

[@lo2713]

@@PopalongRC yup, a few ive heard about facing closure or loosing there venue. Hopefully they get to stay, would be a loss for the community aswell as us.

[@user-lv2kd6od6d]

Outstanding just outstanding…..😎🦾🔥

[@PopalongRC]

Thank you

[@bradkalman2353]

I hope you guys will be racing on their off-road track.

[@bradkalman2353]

You guys should do a world tour of tracks around the world. To back Castle Hill it has been destroyed in Australia did you make it for ifmar.

[@AndyMoulton]

When are you guys going to fix up that old track in the woods? Can't wait for it!

[@PopalongRC]

Very soon Andy, and it’ll be all hands on deck if you can make it. We had some great news which we will be sharing soon👍

[@AndyMoulton]

@@PopalongRC Good news! And I'd love to help... except I'm in Australia. Looking forward to it.

[@rlw85]

Why’s the track going to close. It looks like a nice venue to me. Why do people have hiviz vests on Is the yellow car a rover 800 on the end of concourse line up. There’s some lovely looking cars. The blue and yellow ford mondeo is my favourite ever bttc car.

[@phur3i0n]

Landlord wants to repurpose the land for other uses. The vests are a BRCA rule, each person must wear one when marshalling races. During COVID, the BRCA made it a rule each person needs there own vest to reduce contact, the rule hasn't been changed back as of yet The rest I can't answer :)

[@techspeedrc]

The high viz is because for obvious safety reasons they must be worn when marshalling. You could use your own but before covid the club's usually provided vests so you passed it to the next marshall when they arrived at the marshalling point. The temporary covid rules stipulated you must provide your own vest, but since those rules were removed club's usually haven't gone back to providing them. Rather than just wearing the hiviz for the 5 minutes of marshalling each round a lot of people just put the vest on in the morning and keep it on all day so they don't forget it. Which is annoying as you can't tell who is marshalling and who is spectating. The Rover body is a Rover SD1 made by Team C Racing.

[@rlw85]

@@phur3i0n are they planning on building houses on the track

[@rlw85]

@@techspeedrc I was surprised to see a sd1 and the rs200s mk1+2 escorts Suzuki swift’s and I think there were some Silvia’s too.

[@canuckchuck8836]

You would think that Jenson Button would swoop in to save the facilities his dad started? Assuredly, someone knows someone with connections that could appeal to Jenson?

[@chrisgiles5389]

Where is this track?

[@bradkalman2353]

Mark choked.😂 Just joking me.
