Newcastle RC Club (Longbenton)

[TangerineDream]

As many know already we run a Touring Car and Buggy Club in Longbenton on Thursday evenings 6pm - 9.30pm.

Format is four qualifying rounds and one final, with seperate races for Touring Cars and Buggies.

For any newcomers our address is as below:

Longbenton Community College
Hailsham Avenue
Longbenton
Newcastle upon Tyne
NE12 8ER

Due to the recent problems in hosting weekly meetings we are aiming to either find a new venue or negotiate better terms at the existing venue, any updates will be posted here.

We will post a notice here if the club is cancelled again in future.Please pass this link onto friends / fellow racers

We have the option of a potential venue in Walker, this would be half of a sports hall and so roughly the size of a five-a-side pitch.
So should be plenty of room for a track that can suit both buggies and touring classes.
Only downside would be that we can only get the venue on a Sunday, can anyone let me know if this would be of interest??
Obviously we will keep looking for a weeknight venue to replace Longbenton, but if we can't find one this would seem like a sensible option.

Cheers
Paul

Some good action last night, thanks for those who turned up!
Especially the "Moat Off" between Ross and Buckle, let's see who gets blasted next time!

As we now know the hall isn't going to be imminentley bulldozed, hopefully we may have some more positive news on the venue shortly and get the numbers back up.

Please spread the word on this thread for anyone who hasn't seen it, I'm hoping we can get more people down when we know that we are definitely on!

[TangerineDream]

How many buggies turn up on a Thursday? Might have to pop over for some practice. Is it on carpet or polished floor?

[TangerineDream]

Hi Chris,
Normally between 4 and 7 buggies, so plenty for one heat. Its just on the polished floor, normally set up a movable jump aswell.
Hopefully on this week!

As of Monday 28th Feb Newcastle RC Racers (Longbenton) are racing every Monday in the Sports Hall at TyneMet College on the Coast Road 7-10pm
Everyone welcome, part of the reason for changing venue was to try to attract new/old menbers back so come along and have a look.
Please bear in mind however that as it's a new venue, things may not run as smoothly as usual for a week or two. And don't forget your pit table
