Alright there mate, what type of racing are you looking for ???

Local 1/10th scale Buggy clubs are......

Newcastle tyne met college run 4wd buggies and touring cars from 7-10pm on monday nights apart from bank holidays

Benfield Community centre/School run 4wd buggies from 630ish -10pm on friday nights

Dynamix Raceway run outdoor on astro turf 2wd and 4wd buggies i think 1 day during the week and sundays from 10-4pm ?

NEAM/Jarrow club run 2wd and 4wd at seaham youth centre on sunday nights from 6-10pm (IMHO the best club in the north east)

And

TRCC in teeside i believe will be starting up racing on saturdays probably running 2wd and 4wd but also race on other days

WGT10 & Open TC
Mardave
Mini
TT-01
F1

best thing to do is bring it along to one of the club before spending loads of money and have a go as i found out a year ago when i started that racing is totally different to bashing and more fun, only thing i would advise on is probably getting a set of 4wd schumacher yellow mini spike tires as these are the probably the best overall tyre to use on most surfaces

Do the clubs run every week then?

Most if not all of the clubs run every week but when the regionals or nationals are running on the weekends then maybe TRCC, NEAM and Dynamix raceway may not run due to the club racers running at these events.

Come along and join in the fun
