Indoor Series?

[Conrad]

I know this was the original idea behind restarting off road in Scotland then Dom jumped on board and we've had the outdoor series first, but are there still plans to have an indoor series once what little excuse for a summer we've had disappears?

I'm pritty sure a winter indoor series could work. Falkirk run indoors every sunday at the moment, East Kilbride, have finalised a new hall in the Glasgow area, at the moment it is just for Monday nights, but we are looking into the possibility of maybe being able to run a sunday afternoon/evening meeting there.

Also there is Ayr, Big Chris might be able to hold sunday meetings at Whifflets if there are enough entires.

What about Dunfermline, the high school would be ideal for holding a buggy meeting.

We're looking at possibility of including in the carpet championship meetings, there's not enough racing to pay for the hall currently independently.

That will get looked at after we sort out an outdoor venue.

Watch this space.

Funny I was going to email you later and ask what was happening with the SCC this year Derek.

Hall costs are always the crippling fact for one of events indoors, we (DundeeRCC) mentioned this before when there was talk about an indoor series. One of the suggestions was to pool all of the money from each event and pay off the hall fee's for each club before dividing up the rest.

Dundee would be happy to hold a round as mentioned previously on the Falkirk forums. Do Ayr, CSOR and EK still run 1/18th (Maverick Atoms and unlimited) as well? Of course you never want to detract from the main classes and dilute the racing but some people might only have a 1/18th and want to race as well.

[raymondkerr]

East Kilbride, are strictly 10th Offroad now. We had a spell of 1/18th micros about 18 months ago, but wasn't very popular. We now focus on 2wd/4wd buggies and Short Course if there is enough interest.

I'll be updated www.ekmodelcarclub.co.uk soon with details of our new venue.

This sounds like a great idea and another excuse to get the buggy out. If there were to be enough entries would we have 2WD and 4WD? Seriously hope this happens and can be an inter club championship.
