About CRCCC Plus link to Rules!
 
Thanks Oople for the section :thumbsup:

Let start with some basic club info...we are one of only a few clubs in the WRCA region currently...and are located just over the old severn bridge crossing near Chepstow & Caldicot...see the map below!

http://www.ofscience.co.uk/crccc/CRCCC%20Map.jpg

CRCCC runs indoor meetings every Friday evening, doors open from about 6pm, racing from about 7.30pm through to 11pm at Caerwent Community Centre, Postcode for satnav is NP26 5NS

We currently run 1/10th offroad 2wd & 4wd, with the very occasional Vintage class. And we usually have attendance for at least 4 heats, which gives us time for 4 rounds of qualifying plus finals.

Timing is done via AMB/MyLaps/MRT transponders, all but the latest 'Pure' MyLaps ones work.

The tracks are carpet, the layouts and features vary each week to include various lumps bumps and other things. Favoured tyres currently are Schumacher yellow Cactus.

Pitting area has electric and a number of tables that get used on a first come first served basis.
NB - All LiPos have to be hard cased and charged within LiPo Bag.

There is usually someone from Western Valley Models there who can brings along a good stock of tyres & other parts if you call them ahead of time.

I think most who race would agree it's a very relaxed, but competitive club. Racers come from a reasonable distance, from Cardiff, Newport, Bristol, Weston-super-Mare, Gloucester and some even further a field than that are regulars at the club, so we can only hope we're doing something right!

We also have a website at caldicotrcracers.co.uk with more more info in it (including our rules and the entry details, so check there. Also check out our Facebook page at CaldicotRCR for the latest news.

And finally, our results are now available online at RC-Results.com
That's all for now, see you there soon I hope!

Some more details - Whilst the club is very relaxed, we have at least 3 Rounds of qualifying and 1 final for every driver. We aim to start racing at 7.30pm and to be finished racing by 11PM as unfortunately we've got to be out of the hall by 11.30pm.

Also, here's a linky to a more detailed map: Google Maps
