Benfield Winter Series 2014-2015
 

Lady's and Gents

Due to the outstanding success of Benfield's first winter series 2013-2014,

which brought together Local drivers, drivers from as far as Scotland and south Yorkshire, and gave new young driver's ( the super stars of the future) and driver's returning to the sport the opportunity to get involved and really enjoy and experience a local club level competition.

we have Been asked if we are running another series this year.


The club is looking to gauge interest from driver to see what interest there is again this year to run anther winter series, starting in October through to February.

Please contact us and let us know if you would like to support the series,
if there is enough interest we can start the negotiations on the hall and checking / confirming the dates.

Regards
Paul Carr

Definitely interested, would love another series.

I'm up for it, but cant help think we're missing a trick to get even more competition at a winter series ....would a winter indoor regional championship be better? Just a thought?

Benfield, Seaham, York.

I am up for it, although not interested in the series since I will be coming from Scotland.

I would race 2WD and 4WD and i reckon my Dad would also race 4WD.

Hi Guy's please have a look at the Benfield RC thread there is interesting growing by the day.

Yes this would be brilliant if it was to happen

Would be a great way to get more people from the north east involved......we had great success when we at NEAM ran our Xmas Winter series the last few years.....could be like the north east version of worksop ;).....only thing for me is being a partner in a taxi company Im very limited to when I can race :blush:

I would be keen to come back for another series, thanks

I agree, the indoor regionals used to be brilliant..
