General Update

This coming Sunday (May 23rd) will be a simple track design again with a single ramp to start with. Might alter it later to have the split ramp and bottle neck design, have not managed to pick up the last couple of Hoses needed for more complex tracks but should have these for next meeting.

Hopefully will have a couple of new drivers popping down for a try and I might even have the first Club Car available... an Ansmann master Smacker 4x4!! The very same car at the top of the page...

It's still going to be mainly practice laps and just running around for fun till I sort out lap counting. Have almost got the software figured out so can hold races soon and hopefully will be able to carpet part of the hall to allow different surfaces to race on and provide grip for the more technical sections of future track designs.

In the next few meets racing can start properly. I'm hoping to start some form of club championship in August that will run over the autumn and winter months.

I'm still considering changing to a monthly format but currently I'm sticking to every 2 weeks as listed on the lower right of the blog. The advantage of the 2 week schedule is the possibility of running a different class ever second meeting...I really would love to support 1:18th scale off roading as well as 1:10 and holding the different classes on alternate weeks could be great fun.
