No Cobra round Steve? :confused:
No, the two Dates that were open, the club couldn't do, so Talywain has stepped in.
Maybe a date could be squeezed in at a later date, but I doubt it.

I'm guessing they both will mate, its just that the nitro's will use the hill as well as astro.
Looking forward to these now, hope we get a good turnout. Everybody welcome, you dont only have to be welsh:thumbsup:

How would I go about booking in for the Caldi round?
You will have to email the club to book in, but I will need to confirm with Pete what email address and whether the club has a contact mobile to.

Not like an Englishman to beat the Welsh in their own backyard is it now :D
Apparently I was the first entrant to the oOple race too. Im just too keen for my own good lol

lol...I could email my entry in...but it'd only arrive straight back in my inbox!!!
Pete will officially be dealing with entries, however there are a few of us monitoring the emails so nothing should slip through the net...fingers crossed :thumbsup:
You gonna do any other WRCA rounds Cris? The more the merrier :D
RHR was great fun by the way. REALLY nice track they've got...some great features...and way more complex layouts than I'm used to, so took a lot of learning. I'm sure the Oople race will be an awesome weekend, wish I was going.
c0sie
12-05-2010, 12:57 PM
Ill speak to you on Friday about RHR mate :)
As for more dates, the May date is too close to Uni exams, June in at oOple, July im in, August is the UKMicroX and September is normally wet....and we all know that me and rain dont get on too well :D

Is Swansea still holing their round? I only ask as im unsure if they have a track or not?
And also, the WRCA site needs to be updated badly, it doesnt even have the proper 2010 racing calender on it. No mention of Talywain on the 30th.
Jamie......
Swansea have plenty of time to sort things out, as for the site, email Matt
Jamie.T
02-06-2010, 11:20 AM
Dont think its up to me to e-mail anyone to remind them to update the site. Its something that should be done regardless. Surely the 2010 calender should be correct right?
Jamie....

2010 calender on website is upto date!!!
Jamie.T
02-06-2010, 07:38 PM
Thats odd then, as i just checked and no mention of round 1 just been on the 30th may. Yet the oOple posted calender mentions it. Must be a different website im looking at then !!!!!!!!!!!!;)

It was mentioned to me last weekend that SDMCC had been knocked back by the Planning Committee regarding their potential new venue so I should imagine they will be looking for an alternative alternative venue for their regional of the 12th September.
Don't know if this is a formal rejection or just more delays but either way it looks unlikely that Swansea will be able to host that meet. Perhaps someone on the WRCA committee should check because if that is the case then at least there is plenty time for another club to step in and cover the date.

I have been in touch with swansea club with regard to their venue on numerous occasions and we are fully aware of their situation . im sure a veue will be sorted in time . As axeman has said there is talywain I already suggested it to them However i dont want it to look like the Wrca revolves around Talywain despite its obvious attractions as a permenant allweather track So lets see what swansea can come up with .:thumbsup:
gnr racer
21-07-2010, 07:23 AM
Any chance it could be held at Paul Biggs's ranch in north Gower?..if Swansea are dogged by the planners (but I do hope Swansea sort out a venue)
we had a cracking race day there a few Sundays back

Swansea will be running its WRCA round. At the moment we don't know where. We are in talks with a local site, and it has camping facilitys etc.
Also two clubs within the WRCA have offerd us use of the venues if we would need to use them.
I does look like Swansea has been rejected planning permission for the new site. and it looks like we wont have a venue to use out doors this year.
As soon as i know any more information on where our round will be held i will post it on here for everyone to know.
"we are even concidering running it on the nice grass area outside Swansea county hall" :thumbsup::lol:

Always remember that track as it had that big tractor tyre in the middle as a corner.
Another good un was Caldicot, when they had an old BMX Track IIRC
peetbee
23-07-2010, 03:10 PM
That was when it was down by the Castle wasn't it or the other venue they had. Both were good.

No that track was at the rugby club in Portskewet, right behind Darren Watsons house. Vera had put nomes and flowers in all the car tyres on the corners :lol:
Not sure if ive missed any posts regarding wrca at swansea? Any news yet? :confused:
As Dave has said above - any news on the Swansea Regional and if its actually going to be held ?
Its only supposed to be 3 and a bit weeks away, nice to be able to plan ahead ?

As said before in this thread. Swansea will be holding its round. We haven't put anything on here yet, as we are trying to get a really nice venue, along with camping etc, just waiting for conformation, then we will post on here. i know time is ticking away, but we will run the round 100% as we have been offered the use of pembrook's track and we have had an offer from talywain, so it will go ahead.

I heard a rumour it may be at the motorsports centre at Pembrey Nr Llanelli, is this true Dave? Would be awesome if it's true.

I heard a rumour it may be at the motorsports centre at Pembrey Nr Llanelli, is this true Dave? Would be awesome if it's true.
it was true. but had the phone call yesterday saying we cant use it. The owner of pembrey motor circuit wanted us to run an event there so any spectators could come over and watch us racing inbetween the 1:1 car racing. so we would have been right in the thick of it. amazing bit of advertising for the rc sport. "BUT" as luck would have it, our date the 12th of septembre is the only date that there is no events on at the pembrey circuit. There are no dates left so we can't change the date. and the owner can't open up the circuit for just us to use, as the cost would be high. So we will arrange to hold an event there next year.
It's looking like we will use saundersfoot clubs track to hold our round, it balance's the championship that way, as there will be two rounds at talywains track, to the east and two rounds held at the pembrook track to the west.
hopefully next year Swansea will have another track for outdoor use, we have been fighting all year so far trying. We have had a planning permission application rejected for one plot of land, and no help from the council. so fingers crossed we can build a venue through the winter ready for the start of the season next April. We still have our indoor venue, so we are back in there from the first sunday of October

That is a real shame Dave, bit I personally don't mind going to Saundersfoot either, it's such a great track and venue.

21-08-2010, 03:07 PM
the track is really well thought out beat axman there once see if i can make it a double :woot::thumbsup: all sounds good for swanse club next year though indoor sounds much better over the winter i,l b there:D
Good news all round then Dave...Back at your awesome indoor venue(any club or wrca indoor champs for the winter?) in october...Another round at Saundersfoot:thumbsup: and a new outdoor venue for Swansea next year:D I'd say thats a result:D

a few boys down here are buying 10th aswell to run as a second class with the micro, so it should be a good winter series this indoor season.
