Don't panic! Plough Raceway is the club, at the same venue (The Plough Inn, Leigh, nr. Tonbridge, Kent) run by Steve Andrews, but a new name and new organising body.
Though KMRC are recognised as a 1:8 rallycross club they are keen to join in with the 1:10 electric off-road class and buggies have already been around their track with lap times not dissimilar to those of the nitro buggies, though we will obviously be using a shorter track layout! We need to do some tyre testing at their facility and the club may well instigate a control tyre so that we all know what to use at this 'traditional' off-road track.
Here's looking forward to another exciting new season with an increasing number of competitors of all ages and abilities, as always everybody's welcome!
Watch out for more specific details about these events soon!

PS Also keep checking the popular forums (and your mails!) for some exciting events outside of the Regional series in the South East.
FORCC will be participating in some local community events, as they have done so successfully in recent years, the details of which they have promised to let me know so that others can possibly get involved.
EPR are finalising another EPR SE GP on Sunday 11 April 2010 (with classes for 2WD, 4WD, 4WD Stock and 2WD Trucks, if enough interest permits).
And even more excitingly EPR will be hosting Round 3 of the BRCA 1:10 Off-road National Series on the weekend of 05/06 June 2010, so even if you're not racing at this event you've got the opportunity to come and see how the best drivers in the country handle the challenges that EPR has to offer!
