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.

With the addition of all the new members that have attended recent races the Autumn Series looks to be even better.

With the ever growning number of electric cars in all classes we have decided to go with the times and improve the club by splitting apart the Nitro and Electric cars into their own championships.

This is resulting in the one weekend being nitro classes and the following weekend being the electric championships. Every week from 10.00am till 11.45am will be open practice, Booking in will close by 11.30am so drivers meeting at 11.45 and racing underway by 12.00.

Electric Classes are:- Budget Short Course, 1/10th Buggies, 1/8th Buggies, Truggies and Outlaws.

Nitro Classes are:- 1/10th Buggies, 1/8th Buggies, 1/5th Petrols, Truggies and Outlaws.

Fees will remain the same for practice and racing, but to only practice will be £2.00 per person.

Racing will start with the Nitro Championship starting every other weekend from 6th February and Electric Championship starting on 13th February.

See You All There.

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

Well as a lot of you will know it is now the end of the winter championship with most the prize positions still being competed for, and as a result this produced some very close racing thoughout the day.

As lots of people are so very very keen to find out where they finished the points will not be published until the prize giving, this will take part after the caravan racing so do attend to find out who won what and find out where you finished in the running.

And on that note do not forget caravan racing is on Sunday 31st January and all monies rasied are for a good cause.

Well with all the snow we have been everywhere we could not miss the operatunity to have a play in the snow...... And what better chance than carry on and have the 5th round of the winter championship.

The day was fun and when the snow balls started to fly they were aimed at one other and for those that had a good aim, at the cars. There was also stray snow men appearing on the track for all to aim at.

By the end of the day everyone was saying
"Can we race in snow more often?"

So all that can be said to that is Roll on more snow!!
