HDA 2010 – Results
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

HDA 2010 – 8th & 9th May
Hi All,
This is just a quick update about the Huntings Disease Association 2010.
I have been asked to ask everyone to try and be at the Fayre (which is at Buckfastleigh Race Course this year) by 9.30 on the Saturday. Also please can as many of you as possible supply Registration Plate Numbers for the vehicle you will be attending in, we need this to make it easier on the security that will be on site and at the gates.
Just a reminder that camping on the Friday and Saturday night is free and there is entertainment on both nights along with a beer tent.
If you are attending and are from a club (other than Plymouth) please do bring a banner along to advertise your club.
Also please do pass on the inform to fellow racers, club members and RC Enthusiasts as this event is all about rasing money for charity and raising awareness for the great hobby/sport we all know as RC Car Racing.

Last year we (the drivers that attended from different clubs) rasied £130 for HDA after covering the cost of the trophies, this year it would be great to break the £200 mark for them.

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As lots of people are so very very keen to find out where they finished the points will not be published until the prize giving, this will take part after the caravan racing so do attend to find out who won what and find out where you finished in the running.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