Sunday 28th Racing Moved Monday 29th August
Hi All,
Just a quick reminded after discussing it in the forum and and at the track, the electric racing that was due to be on the Sunday 28th August has now been moved to Monday 29th August.
This is to enable our members to attend other events at other tracks to not miss out on the Electric Racing with us and not to be bored on the Monday.

The track will be open from 12:00 – 16:00 on May 7th for SWORDS booking in and practise.
Booking in for the Sundays SWORDS (8th MAY) is £10.00 per entry as per Torquay. This will allow you to run on Saturday and Sunday.
The track will only be open to SWORDS drivers ONLY. If you want to use the track on Saturday but are not entering SWORDS the fee is still £10.00.
Sunday the Gates will be open from 8.00am for everyone to book in and setup pit tables/area and get ready. No Engines will be allowed to be started before 10.00. Drivers meeting will be at 10.15 with the aim of racing to start at 10.30.
Let’s all make this round as successful as the first round.
New Nitro & Electric Classes
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.

TYCD 2009
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.
Friday Night Electric Racing
The drivers showing off their great cars they are about to race at the First Proper Electric Friday
Well we have had our first very successful Friday Night Electric Race with 3 people booked in in the 18th class and an impressive 5 people in the Brushed Class.
What was even better to see was Lisa showing her face racing and showing most the guys how it should be done.
There was some great classic cars attending, these being a Tamiya Bush Devil making a return showing it still had it, a Schumacher Bosscat being driven by our only lady driver, a Team Associated B3 driven by our new member, a 25 year old Kyosho Salute in Pink driven by the Chairman and last but no means least a good old Tamiya Lunch Box – the jokes that were being made about this car were coming out think and fast (and talking about lunch…. mmmm.. I hungry, ha ha ha).
