Due to the bad weather forcast for this weekend the location of the Race has been moved from Springlease to Torquay.

There is still camping available and practice on the Saturday will be practice from 12.00.

Please do tell everyone that the new location for racing, and this will count as you Springlease Round.

Now both the electric and the nitro championships are into the last quarter and most classes have still got all to play for toward the Annual Shields.

Well just a quick update - SWORDS is coming to Plymouth for Round 5 this Sunday (14th August).

The grass on the track has been cut so grass guards are a good idea, along with suntan lotion as the weather is looking to be very good.

The gates will be open from 8.30am, booking in will close at 10.00 as per previous events so we can have drivers meeting at 10.15 and racing to commence at 10.30.

See you all there for some close fast racing.

Well done to all the winners and here is hoping the Autumn Championship that has started is just as good.

After the success last year of running the Friday Night Electric Racing to try and help the BRCA get the Electric SWORDS running we have decided to run the event again this year even though the Electric SWORDS is not happening.

The first Friday we are starting on is 18th June, booking in from 6.30 to 6.45 and racing from 7.00pm to 9.00pm. This will then run for as long as we can over the summer till it becomes too dark to race at night.

The Classes we are running are:-
- 1/18th Open Class
- 1/10th Open Class
- 1/8th Open Class

The timings will be 5 minute qualifiers, 8 minute finals with 3 minutes between races.

Fees will be the same as last year.

Hi All,

I am not going to write a long description of the event, partly because being very busy from running the event, but also do not want to bore everyone.

So instead I will pass on the good news, we raised and handed over £180.00 for Huntington, had almost 50% more entrants this year than last year and with the running of the 1/10th this bought some people along that would not normally race.

The finishing results were:-

1/10th - 1st Jonathan Firmin - 2nd Chris Luckett - 3rd Chloe Hill

1/8th - 1st Dan Bligh - 2nd Lee Ellis - 3rd John Andrews

1/5th - 1st Tony Hill - 2nd Jack Beaumount - 3rd Jonathan Firmin

Truggy - 1st Jack Beaumount - 2nd Roland Thomas - 3rd Andrew Welsh

Hi All,

Just a further quick update about the event.

First just a quick reminder I am after registration plate numbers to get people in the gate easier.

Secondly to make the booking in process easier I am doing pre-booking. For this I need the following information:-
Full Name
Class - 1/10th, 1/8th, 1/5th Monster Truck/Truggy
Frequency
Both Days or just Sunday

Remember the fees are £10.00 for the weekend per class or £6.00 for one day per class. Camping is free and is available Friday night and Saturday night.

Do not forget to tell all your friends, and fellow club members of all clubs to please come and support this great event.

Last thing before I go, please everyone help make this event better than last year and let us break the £200 mark to the Huntington's Association.
