New venue for RVRCCC Preston
 
Just to let you know RVRCCC raced for the last time at Preston College on Friday.

We will be moving to our new purpose built venue at Ramp City on 2nd Oct

We have full use of this venue 7 day a week.

The track size is 30mts x 10mt with plenty of room to pit.

We will be building permanent pit tables in the near future, until then you will need to bring your own. We have plenty of chairs

At the moment we will be running 10th and Mardave on Friday nights as usual. Buggies on a Wednesday night. Large scale trucks (Wedico/Tamiya) once a month.

We will also be running a Winter series for 10ths 12th and Mardaves (not sure about buggies)

If we have enough interest in running other classes 18th/12th ect we will open another night.

The cost will stay the same £5 per night.

Doors open 7PM First race 7.30PM

Doors close when we finish

Remember the carpet and track will be laid down permanently so all you have to do is turn up and race.

In two weeks the bar will be open serving "falling down water" and food.

We won't be running any classes of cars on the same night as local clubs.

If you need any more info please email peterdotcarrollatblueyonderdotcodotuk

Ramp City Directions
For those travelling from out of town you need to come along the M55 to the very end ( do not turn off at Junction 4 ). The motorway regulations end and it becomes Yeadon Way ( A5230 ), now turn left at the first roundabout ( with metal artwork in the centre ) within a hundred yards or so you will come to another roundabout take the 2nd exit which is Cropper Road . Ramp City WSA is approx. 800 yards along here on the right.

Looks nice and big... Indoor racing esp midweek has big potential to do really well.

Bury indoors attracted 90+ drivers on its monthly meet.

Personally as i work for the NHS, find that im working most sundays, but have lots of time off during the week.

Bring it on :thumbsup:

singin pete 04-10-2009 08:55 PM

We have ordered £1600 worth of carpet so we don't want it ruined.

The tyres are the ones that Kendal have used for years with no problem.

Hi
Just thought i would add ...

Click on map for link


http://www.rampcitywsa.co.uk/images/rc-map-small.png

Our club fourm to more race details is http://clubforum.rvrccc.co.uk/forums/index.php

We are working on building some Jumps for the buggys but these may only come in in the next few weeks.

The control tyres are called pro-line Dirt Hawg they will be on sale on the night from me , Ben Knight (Speedy Models)

These are tried and tested and do work on carpet but this is to make it fair and to keep the carpet good for other nights such as mardaves.

Most importantly i hope everyone enjoys themselves and has a fun evening racing.:thumbsup:

Thanks
Ben

bigred5765 04-10-2009 09:01 PM

dirt hawgs??hmm what do they cost a set and how long do they last,

singin pete 04-10-2009 09:36 PM

Don't hold me to this I have been waiting for Ben to post with the correct price, I think they are £20 per set.
The lads at our club who race with them at Kendal have had them over a year with plenty of grip left, so they represent very good value.

Hi Karl
They should be RRP £10.00 a per with inserts.We will be selling them at £17.00 for a full set.

I myself have never used these but i think i am right in saying they should last a full season but i maybe wrong will try and find out more sorry.

Thanks
Ben

singin pete 04-10-2009 09:45 PM

Ben means season and not session, I hope.
