I'm still of the belief that if you drive what the leading drivers in a club drive, then it's down to an individuals ability where they qualify.....
At the end of the day it all down to the "thumbs" or "trigger" finger......

Racing on polished floors is a dying art...I remember at least 4 different venues that were well supported in the past in "Norn Iron". Ballymoney, Ballymena, Newtownards and Carrickfergus.

Today Touring Cars are suited and designed for carpet or "circuit racing" while the 1/10th scale "Buggies" don't even have an off road track to race on over here.....
TC racing at CVMCC would require a lot of hard earned cash being spent and at the minute I feel that "If it's not broken then why try to fix it?"
oooh those locations bring back memories.thats where it all began for me.i preferred tc racing on polished wood,but i still much preferred buggies.for me touring cars was much more expensive too.we were using maybe 2 complete sets of schuey mini spikes each race meeting.in buggies you could get 3-4 meetings out of tyres indoors.if the interest was there probably all these venues would still be available.
