Change the name or atleast take it off the mat. I'm not to keen on racing my cars on a track sponsered by "bonzer". It just sounds stupid to me. Sorry.

you got a sweet idea. how much are they gona run? ive seen neat tracks before that went for 2 or 3 hundred and im sure they sold about 5 of them. if you make them at a reasonable price im sure you will make some bucks.

welcome aboard TeamBonzer - I'm sharing views here...
like payaso, the surface looks good, but like sessiz - I wouldn't want "bonzer" on my track.
good work none the less!

Does Bonzer mean anything in the US?.
In Oz (Australia) it means cool/most excellent etc. The phrase Bonzer Weed has been heard to be uttered

.
Here's the dictionary definition:
bonzer
adjective 1. excellent; attractive; pleasing. --interjection 2. an exclamation of joy, elation, etc.; excellent! Also, bonza. [origin unknown; cf. the equivalent obsolete terms bontosher, bonster, boshter, bosker]
Anyway the idea behind the brand is to be a bit different. We are talking to some Racing teams about sponsorship - imagine a tie-dye car

(like the web site banner but LOUDER. Who knows Bonzer could become cool and excellent in the USA. Why not try it out, be a trend setter rather than follower!
Any way, really appreciate your comments dudes.
sorry forgot to ask: which side of the mat do you prefer - Black or printed - or are you saying black side without the two BONZER logos?
cheers

THe track is grippy, which means that you have to mix and match tyres and motors depending on the cicuit or you end up rolling the cars.
The trick was getting the right combination of inks, surface texture and base materials.
We experimented with over 100's of different material combinations untill we got the one with the right of strength, weight flexibility and surface quality - all at an affordable price.
Cheers

Great Idea..
compact and easy to roll up and hide.
Then when the races begin, out comes the track.
I like it, since I don't have the room for a dedicated track.
And on the road alot, so it could travel with me.

if your wall is big enough you dont even have to roll it up - it has got two metal eyeletts at each end so that you can hang it on the wall (dont even bother taking off the barrier!) - you can also use the eyeletts to peg out the mat when playing on grass

I like the black side (w/out the logos) or if it did have the logo's maybe smaller and in a corner, some place not so "in your face".
sounds like you've done some research and testing, should help make for a better product...
hanging the track - that'd be prime!

Where'd you get that quote from nox?
That's pretty sad since he was allowed to spam his product on this site even though he's new here.
