I
understand that the aircraft factory next door is going through a crisis post
sep. 11th. This may take the pressure off in the short term. I agree
with Ian …write in… Ian,how
about the “Idiots guide “ for the proper address for us to write in to? Chris P -----Original
Message----- Stian, After
last years Eurofest I wrote to the Mayor in Belfast (copied letter to Planning
Dept., and Tourism Board) proposing that they should consider preserving the
test-track as both an "Industrial Heritage Site," tourist
attraction, and public open space/Park. I got a polite letter back saying that
all proposals would be considered. The
Govt are undertaking a major Study in Belfast at present looking at land
use issues, etc ... unfortunately the site is privately owned/leased so
difficult for the Council to step on the toes of a big local employer if they
did want to redevelop the track! I guess
if there were enough letters from Individuals and DMC Clubs it may help draw
their attention to the issue. The Study will be concluded in about 6 months
so write now! Cheers,
IAN ****************** -----

RE: Eurofest 2002 / Test Track Just a wild idea here... I think it would be great to have a small gathering of DeLoreans
every year in Belfast, just driving the factory test track! (With Montupets
permission of course!) How about it Robert? :-) After all, who knows when the test track will be gone forever :-( Hmm, shouldn't the test track be preserved for the future as part
of our cars history and heritage? I definitely think so, yet Im a hopeless
nostalgic and dreamer ;-)
On a related subject - does anyone know if there were made
technical drawings/plans for the test track, or was it just "built"
there and then only with a few tips and hints on how they wanted it - without
any drawings at all? I'd like to know the measurements, distance, curve degree
etc. Best wishes VIN # 06759
