Default Christmas Meeting Friday 18 December.

We have now decided that we shall be running two events on our Christmas Meeting.

1st: Caravan Racing
Those who wish to run in this event will need to build their own caravans which will need to be attached to the rear of their Touring Car. Rules will be very simple...

Caravan cannot be wider or longer than your own car, single or double axles can be used and the caravan must be attached to your car's chassis not the bodyshell. We'll then have a series of races around a simple track layout.

2nd RC Football
The second event of the night will be a football match using a beachball. We'll choose teams at random, 1 from each group - F1-F3. So it will be 3 aside. It will be a none contact game of two halves. Winner is the team who scores the most, a draw will result in sudden death and the winner will be the team who scores next.

As well as these events, we would like everyone to bring along something for nibbles during the evening, the club will supply drinks.

We look forward to seeing you all at our Christmas meeting before we break up and prepare for a full year of racing in 2010 both indoors and hopefully very soon outdoors too.

Usual start time - 7pm until 10pm. The sooner we can have the track ready (very simply this night) the sooner we can have some fun.

Feel free to dress up your cars in the festive spirit...

I was just thinking the very same...

I'm thinking that a shoe box would make a good base to work from and then drop into that a simple wooden dowel spaceframe on to which I can mount an axle. I could be barking up the wrong tree here so I too could do with some pointers...

Default Beachball anyone?

Just thought...

Does anyone at the club own an inflatable beachball?

We'll need one to be able to play the RC Football on the night. So if you have one, please bring it along to one of our meetings, thanks.
