Central London Racing?
 
Hello all!


Hopefully someone can kindly point me in the right direction and help with the following...



I'm interested in finding (or setting up?) racing in London within zone 1/2/3



Getting back to racing after a ~16 year pause. Used to race 1/10 TC/2wd/4wd and would be keen to race these classes again.


I can find plenty of weekend places within range (Eden park, West London etc) but I'm looking to race on a week night, ideally indoor/carpet (but open to ideas). However, as I live in zone 1/2, it would be impossible to make any of the indoor weeknight races I can find.


So are there any racers/ex racers in zone 1/2/3 who may be interested in some mid week racing? If so, please do get in touch.



Apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place but I couldn't find a specific thread.



Thanks in advance!



JW

Hi
This should be in range for you, running every Friday night

Welcome to our club

We are a newly formed club but have years of racing experience amongst our committee members and club members. We run our club nights every Friday evening, doors open at 5pm for track building and racing starts as close to 7pm as possible. We run 10th scale off road buggies both 2wd & 4wd as well as shortcorse & stadium truck and micros 1/14th scale.

As you turn off the roundabout at Upton Court Park road into Kings Reach the postcode may direct you to the Slough rugby club, which is the small slip road on the right, please ignore this direction at this point you will see Ditton Park Academy directly in front of you, simply follow the road round the corner to the left and the entrance gate is on your right, the club is located in the sports hall which is at the far end of the car park.

See you there tomorrow night:thumbsup:

i'm in zone 3. and the clubs mentioned are most of your options these days.
though i notice that most of them didnt mention when they start
at DMS, doors open at 8pm, we then set up the track and practice, and racing usually starts at 9:15. and heading home by around 11pm
Herts starts racing at around 7, but you can get there as early as you like, as its a permanent track, so you can get as much practice as you like beforehand - and indeed on other days during business hours by visiting the shop to get (and pay for) a pass.

send me a message if you like letting me know where you are based etc. but i do seem to be racking up a fair bit of mileage getting to races these days. but will be happy if there's someone nearby who wants to go racing.

oh, and as a returning racer as well, will happily warn you off all the mistakes i made when i started racing again.

Thanks all - some good options.



Slough would be the easiest to get to but getting there for 7pm racing would be tough/unlikely, so the 8:30pm start makes DMS the winner.



Will reach out for specifics - thanks again for the suggestions.
