It's there for everybody to see, by off road racing I don't mean a full clay indoor track, you know that I don't mean that!
Why do people always go on about newbies?
If clubs catered for people that already drive rather than for somebody who might want to race once or twice then never again then the north east might have some more successful clubs, other than that they will continue to be un-supported as they are?

The videos that are linked, are from the first time we used the hall and like all things, set-ups need changng to suit the surface.
You asked what can be gained by racing in a hall like we do! Well to me racing on low grip tracks and flowing tracks learns you throttle control, overtaking and being able to keep your place under pressure from the car behind. which is the same on every surface.
If tracks were all jumps and bumps it becomes a case of who can get round and not who is the fastest and it's not very enjoyable too 95% of the club racers. That in turn makes numbers go down and the club can't pay the bills.
We do cater for all our members, and build tracks that they like to race on and suit the venue.
How can you say the club isn't successfull? we have more members now than in the last 10 years and the club is financally safe for the forseeable future.
The biggest problem with the north east at present is they're are lots of drivers, but a few don't race and support the local clubs which provide a competetive regional series.
