Hi all,
Yesterday(Saturday 26th April), we saw
ROUND 1 of Hinckleys 2014 OffRoad Club Championships!
With the initial Weather Forecast predicting poor Conditions on the day of our first Meeting back Outdoors, none of us really knew what to actually expect on the Saturday morning itself.....................fortunately, by the time a Bunch of Dedicated HRCCC Members Arrived early at the Venue, the Rain had all cleared away, the Sky was pretty bright/Sunny & the Grass Track was only Damp to touch! After a few of us spending an hour or so cutting the Grass & Setting up Race Control, it was all Prepped ready a Fantastic days Racing!
By this time, some keen OffRoad Racers had Arrived & the Track was Assembled very quickly.......well done Guys!!

We went for our usual Buggy Meeting Format of 4 Qualifying Rounds with your Best 2 to Count, followed by a Final, but decided for this Season to make our Heats consist of 10 Cars, as this not only made the Racing more Fun & Competitive, but massively Improved Marshalling to cover the Large Layout!
There was some really good clean Racing seen allday & many enjoyed some of the close Battles between each other.
A FEW PICS DURING THE DAY(thanks to Craig Gibson Photography)

The Meeting stayed exactly on Schedule allday, due to some great work from Mark & Slinga running Race Control!
Everyones already looking forward to the next one!
The Next Club Meeting will be on
