outdoor racing

[fido-dido]

has anyone thought of having an outdoor meeting possibly on a week night, if we could find a place maybe this could become weekly?

obviously this would be weather permititing but this time of year would be great.

A long long long time ago we used to race outside in the summer months. It was on a small tarmaced area at the back of a school in milton. When we did that i know we had lower attendance at meeting.

Running outside on an unprepared surface (i.e. a car park) just doesnt appeal. Now if only we could race weekly indoors...

weekly would be the way forward, that the only reson i say out side anyway, every 2 or three weeks is too long, i had to miss the last one due to family wedding so its been a month since i last used my car!

Tom, BTW, those batteries i got from u should i charge them slow first of just charge at 5A the night b4 n use em?

PS u got PM

If people are interested and racing at Milton weekly is not an option, we could always try to get the club in over running again. I'd be up for that, but there'd need to be enough people interested to make it worth it. It stopped before because there were only 5 or 6 of us turning up to some meetings :( . Would be ideal for 12th scale too.

ide love it in over as i work here and live in willingham. would it be another club or an extention of the milton one? im sure more than 6 would go to it too.

I didn't know you lived that close! Tom and his brother used to run Over as a seperate club. I've pm'ed you with a link to the website for the club (I havent updated it for a bit, but you can see from the gallery what the club is like). The track carpet and markings are still at Over community centre...
