SC done properly are great fun! It's a shame this isn't running

They probably said Buggys were shit when it was all touring cars at the time!...it's not the class it's the driver that makes it rubbish.
I'd run my sc and my buggies....

I remember the same sort of badmouthing being done at Touring Cars, when they first came out - being as 1/12th scale was all but gentlemanly in comparison. Simples = tell them to "clean it up or don't come back, it's not crash-em derby."

But, frankly, the "cost of the hall" excuse is rather weak, as it costs no more to add a heat of trucks than it costs to add a heat of buggies (unless the point is to become known as a "buggy-only" club). I thought the point of club racing was supposed to be to make it open to all, 3 cars make a class, and not to chase people off with an elitist attitude because they don't own buggies.

I've never tried it, your right, after seeing the heats at worksop it totally put me off, I have seen it for myself, people just wiping each other out, again, it's the masters, top buggy drivers in the country or almost, why do we need these hunks of junk spoiling the chances of another 10/11 good standard buggy drivers from getting a place at probably the best indoor series of the whole winter?

This is the reason..

The cost of the hall has gone up another 20% this year also, it was already extortionate to begin with, you wouldn't believe how much it costs to hire that place.

Amazingly we have had more entries than ever before and a number of new names. We thought due to tough economic times people may be put off so we're really happy you all want to come Its going to be the most competitive year we've ever had too! With only the 3 entries in SC and such high demand for buggy places you can see why SC's were scrubbed this year. Sorry! Get a big enough group of you together and we'll arrange a meeting at RHR if you like!

james i know why it was dropped, muzzy explained, my post in here was aimed at other sc drivers who have driven them and want to promote them,

[reg]

they are great fun when raced proberly,rubbin is racing but its other peoples interpretation of that,that ruins it

[cmgreen]

Why didnt the other trucks take off? e.g. the As t4 truck? I personally would race these if there was a class.

When i was up at Ardent for the petit RC there was loads of T4 type vehicles sat on pit tables, i personally think they look great and have just got one, bits are cheap and they jump well, alot of people still have these sat on shelves, get em out n use them!! it seems a shame that SC gets bad press but the driving style has put a lot of people off, yeah there is rubbing but when it becomes ramming it does take the shine off it. :thumbdown
