Archive for the ‘Club News’ Category

May I start the news off this year with some great news, and that is the SWORDS 2011 is coming to the Plymouth Track after work.

We were invited to hold 2 rounds of the SWORDS this year along with the Torbay Club and Springlease club.

We look forward to see as many of you there and supporting this event, not only at our track but also at the others. Let's show the other clubs what we at Plymouth RC Racing are made of.

Hi All,

Just a reminder that membership is due for renewal. All membership runs out on 31st December so to prevent your insurance running out please do renew at one of the next 2 championship races.

Do not forget when you join the club the fee also includes the BRCA membership so there is no need to purchase seperate membership.

Membership forms can be downloaded from the rules pages and there will be some available at the track.

We look forward to have you all renewing your membership and bringing along new members with you.

Hi All,

Just a quick update about the meeting, the Owners of the Joshua have said they will be putting sandwiches for us.

Meeting time is 7.00pm for the meeting to start at about 7.15pm.

Children are welcome at the AGM, the only requirement is that they are not allowd in the pool table half of the pub.

See you all there.

As discussed within the club we are holding the Endurance race this year on Sunday 31st October.

Instead of being over 2 days as in previous years we are doing it all in one day this time. The first 2 hour race will be from 10.30 to 12.30 and the second will be from 2.00 to 4.00.

The rules are the same as last year.

• A team of three
  • At any point at one point one driving, one marshalling and one pitting
  • £10 per person in the team
• Any car goes other than 1/5ths
• Any mods to cars go
• All cars (other than 1/18th) do full track
• Each heat is 2 hours
• Best 2 hours counts towards Trophies

It will be good to see as many teams there as possible, pre-booking will be open soon.

There is also something being put forward again for the best "Themed Team".

Hi All,

It is that time of the year again when the club hold the Anual General Meeting (AGM), this is where we vote in the committee for the 2010/11 season, what rule changes are voted in and most importantly the presentation of the sheilds we have been racing for all year.

The meeting is being held on Friday 5th November starting at 7.00pm in the Joshua Renals Pub in Ridgeway, Plympton.

It will be good to see you all there.

Hi All,

Just to let you all know that the website and forum looks like it is up and running correctly.

Please bear with it if there are any problems still around, they will be sorted soon.

As some of you may have noticed the forum has been down site the beginning of Monday 20th September.

This is in had and we are looking what has gone wrong and hopefully will have it up and running as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patiences.

The track will be closed to running on on Sunday 19th September but will be open to do some "serious" maintainence work and improvements.

Anyone with some free time on their hands this Sunday your help will be much appricated.

Well it is nearly that time of the year again when we all go to the Royal Cornwall Show Ground at Wadebridge for Think You Can Drive 2010.

This year the classes we are running are as follows:- 1/8th, 1/5th and Truggy. From these classes no matter what you turn up with we will fit you into on of the classes, eg 1/10ths will race in with 1/8ths.
