Doncaster touring car club

[Swalls]

Hey guys just thought I would give a big shout out to my local touring club seen as its getting towards the indoor season. Numbers have been low over the summer so we want to find all you touring boys, pull you out from whatever rock it is you've been hiding under and get you racing!

The official site with rules and location etc is here http://www.touringcars.org.uk/

We also have an unofficial site run by one our members with a forum and general RC fun/news, you can find it here
http://donnyracing.yolasite.com/

We have a nice big track and meetings are always a tightly run ship!

I know some touring car clubs have been going under recently and the last thing us racers need is for another one to go down the swanny, so show your support and get down to race. We are all friendly folk so comedown and give it a go.

Hope to see you all soon on a friday night. Cheers,

Chris (self appointed club promotions officer )

I raced there for a couple of years but I had to stop going because of the
way people smash your car off the track.I talked to Paul about it but he
didn't realy care.I'll stick to buggy racing it's much cleaner with less breakages.

Fair enough mate, unfortunately a few people have no etiquette. wasn't trying to entice people away from buggies, just wanted to round up all the touring guys to help protect another club, I think everyone can sympathise with that.

I don't want everyone to think the place is some sort of destruction derby though, its not really fair to bad mouth the club like that, people can come and make up there own mind.

I'm going to be starting buggies soon and really looking forward to it, hope you continue to have good buggy racing as well Steve.

Was a good meeting tonight, there was some top driving going on, shame I couldn't match it!
Hopefully we will see some more new faces again in two weeks time!

Are you thinking of running indoor buggy tracks at donny?

Unfortunately I think there is basically no chance of that. If I were running the club then I would be all for it and happy to sort out the extra organisation and work/effort. But I don't run it, Paul does and having gone there for 9 years I know he won't run any buggies.

Sad but true. Although this has always been a TC club and there is nothing wrong with that. We had pretty good numbers yesterday, virtually 4 full heats which was a bit better than normal, but the more the merrier as we could cope with/would like 6 heats like in the old days a year years back.

So come on down!

Hi Chris,

I've just moved back to the area and I am looking to start racing again. Didn't know there was a club in Doncaster and I might come down this Friday. Anyway just a quick question, I see on the club site that it says from 2006 you are running a 27T brushed motor limit. Is this limit still in place and no one runs brushless? I just ask as I don't think I have anymore brushed stock motors.

Thanks

Jon
