Indoor racing, winter 2006/2007
 

Hi Guys,
I am hoping Batley club are going to be holding some indoor meetings through the winter. But, as we are all aware, things have changed. Will we have an indoor calender through the winter for meetings at the Batley Sports Centre?

Chris

the next batley tc meeting is on the 16TH OF SEPTEMBER
4:30 till 9:30pm

I don't think thats the indoors they mean.

As of yet there are no Sunday meets arranged indoors.

Sunday 10th will be outdoors. After that I am not sure what is happening but I will update when i get more info.

yeah we wanna race indoor on humps bumps and ramps etc let get something sorted cant miss out on batley indoors it would be a sin

We usually stay outdoors until at least October, after that there will no doubt be some indoor Sunday meets, and we do hope to continue the very successful Supercup again this year (probably late January).
A few more jumps/obstacles would be good if anyone wants to volunteer to make some;)

I can build whatever you want John, just need something bigger than my Astra to get them to the hall :rolleyes:

batley tc has got lumps humps and jumps but i suppose its not good enough for you wel i like racing my buggy there it gives me practise for indoor supercup and national etc

J:)

Indoor Season
 

Great to see some indoor dates for buggies now posted on the Batley website,

Am i right in saying that buggies also race at the indoor Batley touring car meets on saturdays??? if so where can i find a fixtures list for the Touring Car meets???

Being relatively new to this, i want to race as much as i can however it seems both indoor and outdoor meetings, have been relatively scarce this summer, and seem to be only monthly into the winter season???

Not sure if im missing something? is there another club that meets on a sunday else where that alternates club meets with Batley? or is it simply the case that we only race monthly??

Can anybody advise?

hey sorry about late notice the next indoor buggys and saloons for batley is on the 30TH OF SEPTEMBER this saturday, hope you can make it we have got some carpet now so its bound to be good

Thanks
Jonny

4:30 till 9:30 at the sports hall plz

Will any jumps be down or will the buggies run the same trackas the TC's?

We would be quite happy to post details on the Batley site, however no-one ever seems to pass the info on for us to upload.......

i'm confused
 

so what time does the sunday indoor buggy racing start?

the next batley tc meeting is on the 14TH OF OCTOBER THIS SAT
4:30 till 9:30pm

racing full length of the hall a massive track with our new carpets and markings etc so bound to be a good meet! also there is jumps and humps and lumps lol

it is a buggies and saloon meet indoors so bring your buggies if u have one.

see u all there at the sports hall

im confused (again)
 

are you sure its tha 14th cos on the website it says sunday the 15th

sunday the 15th is a BUGGY MEETING.

Saturday the 14th is a TOURING CAR meeting - with a few buggys allowed to make up the numbers.

What time is kick off this sunday?

Doors open at 11. Track building from then onwards.

confused - the return lol
 

so if doors open at 11 what time would be normalto get in. i.e. when does racing start?
so let me get something sorted out with my brain...
1) saturday is touring car
2) sunday is buggy
3) buggy race opens doors at 11 AM
4) 12:30 would be sensible time to get there for buggy racing?

No! Get there as close to 11:00 as possible to help build the track and get your gear set up, batteies charged, practice runs, etc. :smile:

Hello,

I live in the US and want to start a club for offroad cars just like you have at your Batley meeting. Are these races held in a school gymn? Do all procedes go to the school or auditorium that is hosting the race? DO you need to take out insurance. I have many questions regarding this. I understand that the laws in the UK are different then the US but any sort of insight would be much appreciated. If anyone has any information on this could you please e-mail me?? Thank you all in advance and look forward to hearing from you.

I'm not sure what it's like in America, but here we tend not to have many profesionally run race tracks, things are usually club based (like Batley) so it's non profit.
Batley has an outdoor permenant track on rented land, and an indoor venue rented by the hour at a local sports hall.
The rental on the hall is expensive so- yes, the venue does end up with most of the money, with what is left over going to the clubs funds.

I am not 100% on how the insurance works, but because Batley and most others are BRCA affiliated clubs (and people need to join the BRCA to race) the insurance comes via the brca since insurance is part of the membership fee.

Jimmy,

Thanks for the info....I will have to do some more research, thanx for the speedy reply.
