South / South East Indoor Venue that allow Buggies and Mini-Pins

[andy east]

Hello all,
I'm looking for an indoor carpet club venue that allow the use of Mini-Pins and buggies in the South or South East Area (South East Preferred).

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Also (long shot!!!), back in 2004 I went to a venue in Milton Keynes that was a shop and an indoor carpet track (TC) that was situated on an industrial estate above a bakers... for the life of me I cannot remember the name of it... does anyone know of it's name and if it is still going?

Not for the first time I have to admit I need help!

Thanks
Andy

We all need help Andy () think I remember trying to find the 'Racing Drome' in MK once on the way back from Ikea (see what I mean), I got lost a gave up, cannot find much reference to it on the web. There is a MK club that runs TC.

Not sure what the buggy situation is with Newbury Jim, the web site is: http://www.newburyrcclub.co.uk/

Of course DMS runs a club in Watford, some buggys I believe, depends where in the south you mean, but Battlaxe is right - buggys on clay with bowties & ribs, indoors, is pretty good & testing, Bicester. There must be other stuff out there.

Chatham maybe? The Maritime Raceway i think it's called, but again not 100% on buggies. They did host the Petit though, so hopefully they have buggy interest

As far as I know Maritime generally run Mardave/minis on a Tues and Touring Cars on a Thursday.

Saying that they are running the next petit race http://race.petitrc.com/

Faversham club run buggies every Wednesday Night indoors but its not on carpet its on slippery wooden floor with yellow full spikes.

You could try Centralbooking.org . They have many clubs posted with a map to show you where they are. I would have suggested Langley Model Car Club in Slough, but they had to close last week due to lack of interest :-( .

As mentioned by JCJC we run buggies indoors with minipins every week on a thursday night here in Watford at our own DMS Model Car Club.

Our weeks at the club alternate betwwen Touring Cars and Buggies (although there is always at least 1 heat for the "alternate" class too).

This coming thursday (29th Oct) is "buggy" week, we average between 20/30 racers on a dedicated buggy night (with a few saloons in their own heat too) and the track will consist of mainly carpet with some slippery floor sections, a mixture of 4 or 5 jumps with possibly some other "off road" obstacles too. Good close, competative racing each week.
