Great to hear such positive feedback.

We were not sure whether the balcony for a rostrum would work but it was worth trying as it reduces the time building a rostrum and taking it down but it seems that it worked very well - I even heard it described as 'awesome'.

From a club viewpoint - we were also very pleased with how the first meeting went and appreciated the help that we got before and after the meeting with the track - it makes such a difference when everyone mucks in - that is what club racing is all about and helps keep clubs running as the work is not down to a handful of drivers who then get fed up of doing all the work - please keep it up!

We had 40 drivers (including 5 under 13s with more to come at other meetings) and managed half an hour practice and 4 rounds and a final - as much racing as you would get at a full-day meeting. Some of our drivers were unable to attend the first meeting but will be there next week so hopefully the good attendance will contine.

Thanks to all concerned in their efforts to support the club.

I'm glad it went well, family matters overtook me as they invariably do, not to mention me not reading dispatch notes from hobby shops.... Tyres and inserts arrived, no wheels... body and decals arrived, no paint!!

Anyway, well done and maybe this weekend for a nosey round!

A very good turn out on Sunday, plus it was awesome to see a heat of under 13's hammering round

The surface was a lot grippier than I was expecting too, though I may have to try different tyres on the SC10

Just normal BRCA rules, remember LiPo's need to be charged in a LiPo sack.
I had a 7.5 in my B4.1 which was more than enough, given the short straight we had I'm pretty sure I could have got round just as fast with a 10.5

Totally agree with that mate. There needs to be more kids getting involved for the good of the sport

I must admit the whole meeting ran very well and really enjoyed myself, the layout of the mat's could of bin alittle better for marshalling as drivers view was blocked , but had a great day, just wish it was closer for me, I'll get there as often as I can as its a great venue.....

Thumbs up

Popped along Sunday with my son for a look around, very impressed I have to say. Juniors heat was good, only thing better was the patience of the marshalls and support of the parents. Very friendly atmosphere, very relaxed (no-one botherd by my 6yo looking at cars, though i did have to stop him marshalling...) and hope I'll get the chance to race there very soon, well done. Oh and Di, if that was you on race control, very diplomatic way of dealing with kids running around the rostrum!!

Was amazed to see a junior marshalling and stamped on a B4 (by accident) and the driver said nothing, well nothing i could hear anyway and we were viewing from the rostrum. That is some measure of how the vibe of the club was.

No mate. They are doing a outdoor track tidy-up then doing a bit of racing afterwards I believe.

As far as I know Wayne that is incorrect. The first post in this thread clearly states indoor racing is on this Sunday.
Track prep outdoors is being done this SATURDAY (all welcome) 1st outdoor meeting is planned for 3rd April
