Posts Tagged ‘5th’

May we, The Plymouth RC Committee, take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.

May all your wishes come turn, we hope that you get the cars you want, those important spares arrive, those bling bling upgrades arrive and most importantly are informing all your friends that are getting cars for Xmas to come and join in the fun we have.

And a quick note before I go is to remind everyone the track is closed on Sunday 20th December.

Merry Christmas 1 and All.

Well the time is ticking away to the great day of racing we call Caravan Racing!!! It is good to see that there have been already a couple of attempts attending the track to being tested. These range from basic shoe boxes with wheels, to full suspension version, there is even a school getting involved.

There are 2 question that keep getting asked about it so I will asnswer them again now for everyone.

When is it??  The Race is on Sunday 31st January 2010

What are the Rules?? The caravan has to be a minimum of the same length  of the towing vehicle if not longer. The caravan has to be securly attached so it does not come of while racing.

Some people has shown at interest to do a demolition derby at the end of the day but that is purely optional.

So come on everyone, support this great fun event as it is for a truely good cause.

After the Lost of a great person last month it has been decided that we are going to support the family and hold a race in memort of Tony and raise money for charity as the request of the family.

So we are going to do a charity race with a difference, we are doing a Days Racing with Caravans. This was because his son suggested it one day with his father at the track as they were both ex-banger racers, and they have done this with full size vehicles.

So come on everybody and join in the fun, and to find out more please follow the link below:-

Think You Can Drive 2009 ended up to be a great event and I am sure fun was had by all. We did have the odd shower, or maybe more during the night from what I hear. There was a load of us that camped and some a bit better at it than others - I must admit I was jealous of Dan and Karen's BBQ food, from what I hear it was BBQ spare ribs from the local Chinese!! Tony was kind enough to let the rest of us use his gas BBQ along with some others using disposable BBQs before we all sat round Phil's Hot Pot.

  On the Sunday there was lots to see when everyone was not racing, and for the ladies the Fire Brigade was right next to us. There was some close racing going on in each of the classes.

It was good to see some faces from other clubs and some old faces, so to see some of the action and the fun have a look at our gallery TYCD 2009.

The Results were as follows:-

1/10th Class - 1st Lee - 2nd Dan - 3rd Jodi

1/8th Class - 1st Dan - 2nd Dave - 3rd Karen

1/5th Class - 1st Shaun - 2nd Grimbo - 3rd Jonathan

Truggy Class - 1st Tony - 2nd Kieran - 3rd Phil

And for some something different we did Best of the Best,  the top 2 out of each class in together. The results was:-

1st Dan(1/8th) - 2nd Grimbo(1/5th) - 3rd Dave(1/8th)

A quick update for all of those that wish to attend the TYCD 2009 event.

First and fore most, I have found out the event is helping to raise money for Cornwall Air Ambulance so this is another great event raising money for a good cause.

The second thing is that we are required to be on site by 9.00am on the Sunday, so anyone running late or know they can not make it till a little later please please please let me have your car number plate so I can let the people on the gate know so you do not get charged at the gate and also at the track.

The organisers have sorted out the trophies for the first places in each class, we as a club with sort out a little something for second and third.

Booking in will close at 10.00 then we go straight into drivers meeting so Qualifiers will start about 10.30

I look forward to seeing everyone there.
