Timing gear is super expensive if you need to buy it new.
Dave sold everything and it is now in Croston. http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=102197

The current situation is that there aren't really any clubs in Manchester itself (ie inside the M60). Stockport race at Cheadle on Thursdays but the track is really a bit small for buggys so its most a TC club.
We've also started running on Saturday afternoons, the first week of each month, basically to coincide with the one week of the month Urmston doesn't run.

You need to leave about 3 minutes between races for people to switch off and get out to marshal. It shouldn't take that long but it does.
At Stockport we are down to one minute between races. We don't have a tall rostrum for people to climb down from, but it shouldn't take 3 minutes. It used to be 90 seconds+, but the timing quietly got reduced so the drivers got used to it.
