Midweek racing
 

Am i right in saying that apart from Longbenton, there is nowhere to race tenth scale off road in the whole of the North East of England midweek. That is mental!!:thumbdown:

weekends better for most

Yeah Gaz for comps but not for club racing! Im gutted ive got nowhere to go. Makes me want to sell up tbh. If it werent for Worksop i think i might have thought about it.

Maybe, but I think most clubs run weekend, not just the ones in the north east, york,bury,batley,teeside all on a weekend.

you get more attendents on weekends, i couldnt really make a tuesday night cos of work, to much of a rush for me then 20mins drive just couldnt do it

So what's so good about Worksop ? I mean it's must be what 2.5 hours + for you ?

It is, but the racing is the best imo in the country. The surface is excellent to race on and the organisation is second to none. Its a trek to get there but well worth it. I normally stay at a local Travel lodge. They are cheap as chips at the moment unless the rooms have sold out. Try it, you might like it!!

Do Worksop not run midweek? If that is where you prefer to race it might be best enquiring with them on what they put on midweek.

Unfortunately we can't replicate the hall/surface or bring their team who run things up here, we have what we have building wise through a lot of hard work and for now it's a case of like it or lump it I think. We tried to get weekday nights but it was impossible. Unsure what you mean by organisation.....but anyway I think JORCR members who get involved with running things try their best.

Until JORCR came out of Oxclose & was promoted by the new committee, hardly anyone raced there on a Tuesday either.

Yeh, it's about 2 hours for me and shifta, but well worth it, you really should go Tim even if it's just for one meeting to try it:D

My post wasnt supposed to be a dig at any of the JORCR lot. I was telling somebody how good it is and why its worth travelling.

Get back on topic, I would love to race mid week. I would race every day if i could. Long as it doesn't interfere with a fri or sat night, am in.

So chris, when are we going to start our own midweek club then? We could race 8pm - 12 and put disco lights and music on. Have ten minute heats and big massive jumps bigger than the ones in peters dreams...

Wednesday night will probs be best. It'll be class. :D:thumbsup::D

It appears that saying pretty much anything offends these days

Thursday night rug racers at Longbenton CS?

Wasn't offended or accusing you of having a dig at anyone, just an observation when you were commenting why it was worth racing on a Sunday if it was Worksop.

If any venues I contacted get in touch to say they have a room available midweek I will let you know the details :thumbsup: another club in the north east would be great

(mrs) :p

Who fancies a look through next thursday night then...?

Yeah, i might if im not too busy with work. Its polished floor if i remember. Any practice is practice. Neil. I will PM you about a very good offer that ive had for a venue midweek that is in the North East. Very reasonable rates too.

TC or buggy?

Wash your mouth out. Buggy of course...

Is anyone going then?

Whats the post code? I haven't been for almost 20 years :eh?:

I think this is enough .....
I do agree with you. Those are the most effective way

Anybody from Longbenton on oOple??

I need to keep racing midweek cos im getting left behind everybody.
I know they are normally TC drivers but will they mind a buggy running around?

Im up for going this week if anybody else fancies it??

Me and pugs went last week and there was about 8 buggies there and everyone was friendly, I enjoyed it! Will be there again this week :thumbsup:
