Default Any interest in a new club in Bristol?

Hi all,

I've been offered a venue for RC racing in North Bristol. Easy access from the A4 Portway.

Track area is approx 15x10m, and there is storage and pitting space on site. Club nights would most likely be Tuesday.

Could be used for any electric class.

If you are interested (or know someone who might be) please contact me at davidallenxyz(at)googlemail.com, or via this site.

Thanks,

Dave.

Mmmmm....me please boss!!!

Would be ace, my only prob would be the tuesday night bit...the big thumb from above might be a factor And if your doing those flat track thingys...

Sounds interesting though, I'm sure you'd get some interest from the English contingent at the Caldicot club...maybe even some of the welsh boys would have a go to?

Good luck with it anyway, more racing options must be a good thing, and Bristol is severely lacking in those right now.

Thanks Andy, I agree that Tuesday is not ideal, but I'm still interested to hear from others in the Bristol area that would support a club in the city.

If this venue/date doesn't suit, I'm willing to put a little more work into finding somewhere else - if there are enough would-be racers.

Defo interested.
1/10th Off Road
Tues sounds good. Don't clash with Caldicot on a Fri as some might do both.

Hey Dave,

I'd be interested in some mid week racing, I wouldn't be able to commit to every week though as its a bit of a late night trek on a school night but I'd aim for as much as possible because i need as much opportunity to try and break my tamiya as possible!

Mike

Thanks for your support.

I think opening a shop is a little bit beyond my ambitions though!

We'd be up for some some of that WORM at Weston-s-mare is our home club, and is on tuesday nights which is a shame but we only race micro's, and every other week so we should be able to get along regular enough ....

Have you considered an outdoor track at all ? We did have a look at some land directly underneath the Avonmouth bridge which is not only in the dry but also vacant and crying out for an RC track to be built on it

Keep us posted on this one ...

HELL YEAH!!!! As I can't do Fridays very often (2nd job in the hostility industry) I'd love there to be a weekday evening club. I'm based in Cheltenham but work about half way between there and Bristol so would suit perfectly!!

I'm sure there are a few of the Gloucestershire based boys who would come down and play too.

I can only really run 1/10th buggy though at the moment.
