Hi fellow oOplers, check us out:

We also have a very active forum:

We are a friendly 1/10th and 1/8th off road club based near Ringwood in Hampshire, we have a permanent astro track and offer regular race days (including a winter series which is brilliant as you can slide around on the wet astro just like driving on dirt, and then it only takes about 20 mins to clean the car after a whole day's racing!!)
Most of us run 1/8th brushless buggies and truggies but we have a few diehard nitro drivers who always go well, and a thriving 1/10th class.
New drivers are always welcome so if you're on the south coast and fancy a good day's racing on a purpose built track, come down and see us soon!
