There used to be a midweek one at Burton Latimer indoors and also an outdoor course in Corby near the printing company just on the right hand side as you drive towards Rockingham.
Unfortunately both have long since vanished which leaves us with a void as far as I am aware, with the closest now being MA at Silverstone??

Yes - At one time I used to run the meetings at Burton Latimer.. indoors during the week & opposite Weetabix at the sports ground for outdoor weekend meetings during the summer. The Kettering club was born out of these clubs when the community centre had other plans for the hall. We used to run buggies put they gradually declined during the early 90s leaving us with just TCs - the track markings & carpet are now more derived for Touring car racing.... that said we would never turn anyone away if they wanted to run their buggy at our club on a Friday evening.
There is a bit of a void here I suppose for off roaders... but with MA, Silverstone, Stotfold, Coventry, Hinckley, (& Nene Valley Raceway if you are into 1/5th or 1/8th) all a fairly short drive away there certainly plenty of clubs to choose from... of course they are not quite on the doorstep like when we had Rockingham (I still have their Barrcuda lap timing system!) Cranes, Irchester/Skew Bridge, Burton Latimer all so close.
