You can attend any of the race meetings as they are all run on a stand alone basis but the championship takes your best 9 results from 14 so there is still time to be in contention.

You can borrow a club transponder but they are in high demand and we only have a small number so if you can afford one it would be a good investment if you are going to continue racing at TRCCC or any other club using AMB.

Should be racing this Sunday, feel free to join us.

thank you for the replies.

i will be coming along on sunday as long as i can get a day pass lol
As i was intending for myself and son to come along racing, although he wont be starting till round 4. I will look into buying a couple of transponders, is there a certain make that i need to buy?


is there a novice class running or are we just thrown to the lions?

If you are new to racing don't rush into the transponder purchase until you are confident you wish to continue as they are not the cheapest of things. TRCCC run the AMB system and the club transponders came from BBK - http://www.bbksoftware.com/ under 'Prices and Buy' and you are looking at the MYLAPS RC4 Hybrid Direct Powered Transponder @ £76 each.

Come down, have a look and talk to some of the racers, that will give you a feel, feel free to come and find me, touring car in pink and blue!

Forgot to say - racers are graded by experience for their heats so if you are thrown to the lions they will only be little ones!

Rych its £8 for non members, booking in about 9:00,
No we don't use the Horse arena any more, if it rains we get wet or it gets cancelled depends on the day really but due to its location the weather is never predictable up there.
Round by Round, 2 of 4 to count, 1 final, A-E or F normally.
Come down you'll like it.
