Default Micro Racing Kent / South East

Hi Chaps - I currently race 1/10th scale but have been blown away by the speed and compactness of some of the micro cars I have seen on interweb. Does any one know of anywhere they are raced in or near kent at all - would love to invest in a car but not much point if I can't race it! If so what would people recommend - seems there are a few popular options at the moment!?
cheers

Losi Mini 8
Carisma GT14b
LRP Shark

There your choices for the only decent cars for racing ( i actually have a LWB LRP Shark for sale )

Also the only perm micro track i know down south is Wycombe but alot of places will run a grid if you can get 5 drivers for a heat

Craig, I'v done a bit of micro racing and nothing in our region I'm afraid.

Shame as they are a great laugh and provide some good racing.

Losi 8 or the Carisma are both great cars and have won nationals between them, as the others have said check out the UK micro rc forum for load of info and the forsale section

Yes we (Me and Goldy RC18B2, LRP Shark) used to bring them along for a blast round in practice, they go ok with yellow mini spikes on but quite tricky to drive due to the low grip conditions.

Trying to get the numbers together maybe tricky at Fav........
