Just like to say thank you to all 18 drivers who raced last night, helping to put the track out and putting it away after another good nights racing.

The carpet was extended by 6mts and the track opened out to allow the buggies more room, this made a big difference to the flow of the track.

We also had a couple of new faces who came down for a look and I think they will be popping down to Radio Racers to have a word with Shaun.

Ben has taken a few pictures that he will put up over the weekend.

All I have to do is get the printer to work all night!!

See you Next Friday

Peter

Another good night on Friday.

We had 21 racers, 2 heats of buggies and a full heat of Mardaves.

I think all the lads had a good nights racing.

Next week I'm thinking of splitting the buggies into 2 and 4 wheel drive instead of just on ability, what do you think?

If you think od anything the club could do to improve the racing just post on here and we will look into it.

Cheers

Peter

What a good way to end the year, 24 racers, 4 finals and still new faces turning up every week.

Just like to say a big thank you to all the lads who helped with the track.

The quicker we get the track up the more time we have racing, that's why we could run 4 finals.

The club wishes all racers a very good Christmas and hope Santa brings you all new toys to play with.

Next meeting 7th Jan 2011

Peter

We use the best carpet you can get. 5 rolls of 2mts x 30mts long.
The track is made from square drain pipe with flexible plastic corners than are very forgiving. The jumps could be a bit better, we will look at them in the new year.

Any other questions just ask.

Peter
