Derby Radio Control Off Road Club
Change of name for Track/web/forum its now called Derby Radio Control Off Road Club www.drcorc.co.uk
sounds better thanks New Track opening at derby 2 miles just front the A38 you can join the forum and get more info www.drcorc.co.uk track will be runing soon 2/3 weeks will keep you all posted 1/8th rally,truggy,truck 1/10 truck,buggy electric and nitro astro terf very big thanks Mark |
Excellent news that the mid-east is soon to have another venue, I have registed on the forum and had a gander through it but can't find any real info about the track, or pictures.
With the track being aimed at RallyX as well as tenth electric my concern is that will it be able to cater for both? Most rallyX tracks I know of are normaly to big and bumpy for tenth. Are the guys from the club who have built the track RallyX's or Buggy racers? Please tell more......... |
dont worry rich ill try and get them to make it electric friendly if we can
|
Might be an idea to set your forum so guests can read posts, more people will be interested then
|
i thought that aswell antnee, ill have a word with mark in the morning
|
ok slow down guys the forum has been running for 3/4 days now and the track isnt set up to cater for drivers to use yet ... once there is a usable track the post code for the site will be posted and as the guest thing with forum i will get on to that
the track is going to be fully astro terf .. and we will keep the track nice for your 1/10 buggy/trucks Mark |
Mark if you could keep us updated on this sub forum as well it would be appricated as it is used by many. Also when up and running if you pm Robbiejuk or my self on here and we will put info of the new club and venue on the Mid East Website.
Cheers Rich. |

Thats the widest straight ive ever seen!:lol:
|
lol .. talking about the straight .. its LONG !! bigger than J28/deardale about twice the size as burton ...
|
Lol, plenty of space for overtaking!
Are you guys planning a fixed track or one that can be changed? |
This is good news! A permanent astro track in the region! Will it be available to use outside of race days for practice or have these things not been decided yet? Cant wait to see what this is going to be like!:thumbsup:
|
track will be open for practice every weekend when there is not a race meeting on, hopefully electric will be fine on the track as its going to be all astro with any luck
ill be using electric aswell so ill try and have some input so tracks leccy friendly |
sweet! any idea when it will be ready?
|
Hi - where exactly is the track? I live in Uttoxeter and there is just nothing around at the moment so am looking forward to this one.
|
they are hoping to be open in march and it is near willington off the a50
|
anymore news on this? Whens track work starting?:thumbsup:
|
Started work on track .. in need of astro terf and piping
so if any one knows of any going please let me know |
hi give this guy a call its all used probably very heavy and you need to collect i think. have you seen how much this stuff costs new £1500 for a 30m x 2m length :o so even with lorry hire etc its going to be cheap
We have 6000m coming up in High Wycombe mid Feb is this of any interest John Kirkham McArdle Sport Tec Ltd [email protected] www.mcardle-astroturf.co.uk www.astro-turf.net (carpet sales page) 01 491 827 810 '07775 695673 |

Come on lads you carnt use the track if it isnt done ! we need help to sort it iam sure some of you have free time this weekend
Address M-R-C-O-R-C Frizams Lane Stenson Derbyshire DE73 7FW A50 Toyota island to B5008 to willington Turn left at mini island follow road under train bridge go past old power station and take next turning to left Frizams Lane. The track is on the right about half way down the Lane. |
The track looks good for eigth rally x, but to big and fast for electric buggy:confused: good work though:thumbsup:
|
yeah maybe a little but we have to work on it yet loads more ..
|
Mark am I right in saying the pic is taken from the rostrum?
Looking at it, what you have in effect is 3 straights closest to the rostrum and the infield furthest away. I'd say to make it buggy friendly you'd need to lose 2 of the straights. To make it interchangable between both classes why not have the infield next to the rostrum and the 3 straights furthest away? Then both eight rally x and tenth electric could race on it, losing 2 straights furthest away for the buggys. Or 1 closest and 2 furthest away? Just my initial thoughts from looking at the pics. What do other people think? any input? |
the pic doesnt do it justice .. we timed the lap with a non racer with 1/8th buggy and it came out with a 55sec lap
we put the strait lane in front as its where the pit lane is and we tryed to keep the jumps in clear sight dont get me wrong no matter what we do it will never be right for every one this is why it would of been nice if racers could have come and lend a hand and put some ideas in to it Mark |
Thats a good point about keeping the jumps visable. Will have to pop down and have a look although am busy this weekend looking at wedding venues with the future Mrs Sharp:wub
Are you able to get to the track in the week or would it be locked up? |
gate is locked but park outside and walk to track for a look
