HOW LARGE IS THE 1/10TH OFF ROAD COMMUNITY??

[WHITTLER555]

I am working today on lots of stats for my job, year end stuff, VERY BORING!

Whilst eating my lunch - diet induced fruit and a cracker..... with a fig roll YUM!

I was wondering how many people actually race?

So bearing in mind that you have three large meetings on this weekend,

Chadderton, Petit and Area 51

Would you say if we add up all the individual drivers at these meetings we pretty much have the overall size of the the racing fraternity in the UK?#

Would someone who is attending two of these meetings (STU) like to add them up?

As there is only 47 doing the Petit and 21 of them are foreign you might as well discount those!

47? The heat listing says 107 on Saturday!!!!!

Thought about this myself. I'd stab at 3000 active racers of 1/10th and 800 racing each Sunday...

ye you cant just say the 3 events this weekend as there will be lots of people race 10th just at local clubs

[Big G]

well there are 25 at my local club or there abouts, but only 1 completed the whole national season last year (me) and 3-5 compete in the regional series

and 0 are taking part in the 3 events mentioned above

That would not even be a fraction of the number.. I race, but have never been to an event of this kind and I'm probably one of 1000's who could say the same.

oOple has over 14,000 registered members, now granted not all of them are racers and maybe not all drive 1:10th, but not all racers are registered on oOple.. so you can easliy make a guess in to the 1000's of people who RC 1:10th cars on a regular basis around the country.
