Plymouth's Newest Offroad Track

Archive for June, 2009

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick update before the first race meeting of the Summer on a Friday Night.

We are running the event very simular to that of Sunday as in 3 qualifiers and a final. As we have only got 2 hours racing time there will only be a short break between qualifiers and finals unlike a Sunday where we have 2 long lunch breaks.

Also the race times are going to be different, the qualifiers are only 5 minutes per class and the finals are 10 minutes (this time will be confirmed with the drivers at the first meeting, might be shorten to 8 minutes).

Other than that it is normal race rules. So all that is left to be said is see you all at the start of something new and great.

As time goes by technology gets more advanced and we all like to stay up to date, whether it be a new Radio Controlled Car, Faster Servos, Better Batteries, New Fuel, etc. Well with all this in mind we have made some more improvements to the website.

For most of the regulars to the website and forum you would have seen lots of changes, modernisations, and new looks. Well the lastest change is the main site is now Mobile Friendly so those of you on the go can still keep up to date with your favourite Off Road Radio Controlled Car Club.

This is just another step towards keeping everyone informed, and helping the club to grow in size and have better and more fun racing.

The dates on the Racing Dates page for the Electric Racing are going to stand for the first few races as they do not seem to clash with the Indoor Racing.

It would be good to see lots of the electric members attending (along with hopefuly a few new faces).

If this is successful we will move the 1/18th class from running on Sundays to running on Fridays.

See you then.

Here is a short video made up of pictures from the HDA Event at Exeter Race Course.

Sit back and enjoy.

Watch out for many more great events like this which we are doing through the year, these include TYCD 2009 and the Christow Fair 2009

This is something new we are looking at trying, basically it is going 2 be twice a month at the track, gates open at 6.30, Drivers Meeting at 7.00pm and going till about 9.00pm

The classes we will be running are as followings:-

• 1/18th - No brushless or Lipos, any other mods go.
• Brushed Class - Anything that is using brushed motors and standard NiMh/Nicad batteries, all scales
• Brushless Class - Anything that uses brushless setup, lipos or both.

Costs will be the following:-

• £1.00 per class for Members
• £1.50 per class for Non-Members

Dates to be confirmed so they do not clash with the Plymouth In Door Racing - provisional dates are up.

Our next away day event we have been asked to do is the Think You Can Drive 2009 Show.  Last year the Event was supported by KORT RC but due to TYCD clashing with a couple of event they are doing.

The event is on Sunday 19th July at the Royal Cornwall Grounds, Wadebridge, Cornwall. We will be carrying out a full race day will most if not all classes running and, if enough interest, use it as one of the legs of our championship.
