We welcome anyone to come along and join our club to race indoors with 1:10th scale Touring Cars and from 2010 we will also be catering for the great little bundles of RC fun which are the 1:18th scale buggies and trucks.
As and when our outdoor track planning permission goes through we will have a stunning venue for regular meetings throughout the year every 2 weeks (weather permitting) and we shall be running 1:10th scale buggies and trucks on that track and also entertaining the little cars again with 1:18 scale buggies and trucks, while still racing every Friday indoors.
As a club we decided not to follow the BRCA rules to the letter and therefore are not so strict which allows those who've never raced before to feel very welcome indeed. Our web site has all the details. Currently there are no rules for the smaller cars but the club's committee will be discussing this next year as we see how this new class for the club progresses...
Best news of all is that the club has finally taken delivery of the I-Laps lap counting system which everyone at the club has been waiting several months for now since we first discussed it. Don't worry if you do not own the Personal Transponder for the I-Laps system, the club has purchased some extras which we will be renting out at each meeting.
The goal of the club has always been to encourage competitive driving which we certainly have each week, but more importantly to foster an environment that encourages new fans of racing RC to come along and feel welcomed and not fearful of racing with seasoned drivers. This is one area which the club excels in and everyone who comes along to race for the first time keep coming back for more.
We've welcomed dozens of potential young and old drivers new to the world of RC racing over the past few months and I'm sure that once Santa has dropped off what they were hoping to get that we shall be welcoming more new faces to the club in 2010.
Don't get me wrong, the BRCA is a good yard stick, but that does not mean that local clubs should be prevented from doing things differently, afterall as I've always tried to put across we offer choice - something different...
Make your choice
That's the last on this matter from me
