Talking Wrexham Model Car Club - Indoor buggy club night

Here at Wrexham Model Car Club we are moving towards providing a club which caters for as many differnt classes of RC racing as possible.

We are currently building an off road track on our site in Wrexham which is due for completion in May. In the mean time we are starting an indoor buggy club night starting from the 20th Feb. I have been busy building jumps and ramps for this new track and its starting to take shape.

So here's whats happening:

When - Every Wednesday starting Wednesday 20th Feb 2008
Location - Wrexham Model Car Club
Classes - ANY!!!!!!!
Cost - £2 (First Night Free, so EVERYONE on the Wednesday races free!)
Catering - Cans, chocolate, crisps, tea & coffee all available

Their has been alot of interest in this at our club and we should have a good turn out.

All are welcome so please come along!!

Adrian Jones (Race Director)

i like the idea of a huge indoor arena, purpose built clay track, fit women rollerblading around the track at all times, and southern fried chicken stands trackside (will settle for a KFC).

wouldn't Astro be relatively cheap (i say relatively) and not too hard to source? What is the plan for the track anyway? If you need any labour, let us know

Not sure what the outdoor track will be yet, I spoken with the members who are building it and their are up for a multi surface track including dirt, astro, etc. We are getting one of the members JCB onsite to landscape the track so it should be a multi level track and not just on one level.

The indoor track is well on its way to being completed. so far we have a small wall of death, a few small ramps, a medium ramp and we shall also hopefully be building a curved banked corner, and some corigated surface.

We are going to run it as a normal club night times so I shall be their from 5:30pm, racing starts at 7pm till 10pm depending on numbers and heats

We are going to run the normal 2WD and 4WD and any motors and batterys inc LiPo (normal precautions for LiPo though!!)

So correct me if I am wrong then, from what I have read these people might be attending :

Jamie B4
Matdodd
Stan (Matdodd's friend)
ashleyb4
franki

We have a few of our club members also interested so it should be a good night. Last time I counted their is about 6 maybe more from our club attending. I have the local hobby shops pushing the evening and they have not confirmed any numbers to me yet.

DONT FORGET THE FIRST NIGHT IS FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I am going down again tonight to build some more ramps and also to have a play on my wall of death with the B4.........

steer clear of the curigated stuff, its either not noticable and not worth the effort to put in, or its so random its just rubbish to race with.

corigated surface adds nothing 'nice' to any track for 10th off-road.

everything else sounds brilliant!

try and add in some landing ramps too, lots of satisfaction gained from hitting a nice downramp when landing a jump.
