Non Perm 1/10th Off Road Track?

[mikeyscott]

For me those days remind me of racing at Southampton, TORCH with Ron Winter running it (RIP) and the odd away trip to Basingstoke etc.

Gerald Page
Stephen Brown
Dan Brown
Phil Moggy
Jason Moggy
Chris Wilkinson
Chris Granger

I'm sure there are others, but I can't remember.

What I do remember is Tony E coming down for the outdoor event at Millbrook school in Southampton.

I stopped racing 1995/1996 due to working at Tesco at the weekend, with double time on Sunday racing stopped.

We also lost Solent models, but I was fortunate to be back and forth to Hong Kong

Ron from RW Equipment? I remember him.

I remember the Apex Model guys, I think brothers?

Good to see this is gaining some momentum.

As its in a school my thinking would be to have a at least one class that is bog standard 'selected' brand/version to keep costs low for youngster and new people.

Farnham would be great for me too (around 20mins).

Neil - I don't remember you but reading this thread has brought back many very good memorys.

I know the Hatton brothers are looking to race again, Steve Brown is the chairman at Torch I think.

I remember the tennis court track!!! I also remember getting stuck at one of the grass tracks and Marting had to pull me out with his 4x4 and the other venue was very secluded in Ash, if I remeber rightly you had to walk up a bank and through bushes.

The Tamsitt brothers (Neil owned Apex) are no longer racing or involved in model cars in any way as far as I know.

Be great to have even more SE action, as a region it is really picking up again.

Correct Steve Brown is chairman at TORCH and doing a great job, his years of racing in the UK and abroad has certainly helped the club.

Indeed hopefully a great 2011 for the South??

Yes Ron Winter from RW, Neil runs RW these days and still making great products

Key thing I remember about Ron was his truck racing.

I also remember the Mcrae brothers in Fareham as I used to get my brushed motors from them.

The secluded part was here off Ash Hill:

We also raced at Carrington Recreation ground in Ash Vale and a little further down Ash Hill in a big park by the Standard of England Pub Post code GU12 5DP
