Default H.O.R.C (Heathrow Off Road Club) New Video *14/06*

New Facebook Page, soon to be updated Heathrow RC Track

Sorry to start a new thread but due to the track sadly no-longer being fully-dirt i decided to start a fresh up to date thread.

(Reason i cant make it fully dirt is because the dirt is too stony and no matter what i do its just far cant get it drive able for Buggies)

The new way i'm doing it is 80% Astro Turf and 20% Dirt

I collected a lot of Astro Turf today for a very nice price, and i started to lay it down just for a look and a quick drive. I've yet to decide what parts will be Astro and what parts will be dirt but i doubt it will be where it is now.

I'm collecting the rest of the Astro this Friday fingers Crossed. When you look at the photo/video it looks very bumpy but this is due to the astro still having fold lines which havn't dropped out yet.

Im planning on having a Open Day on Sat 19th or Sun 20th so if your interested in coming along and having a butchers/drive let me know

First of all: Facebook page Facebook Group

Car's Acceptable (electric only) for open practise day's:
1/8th Buggy (bit tight but iv'e had a Hyper go round)
1/10th Buggy 2wd/4wd
1/10th Short Course 2wd/4wd
1/16th Buggy
1/18th Buggy

All of the above have so far been round the track with no-problems.

We had a open practise day last night and had 5 x 1/10th buggys, 1 x 1.8th buggy, 1 x 1/10th SC, 1 x 16th buggy and a 1/18th buggy.

Guy's/Gal's.

In order for this venue to work, i need to get some feedback. (Yes i know its coming upto summer and everyone wants to race outside, but come winter time when its wet and naff outside a nice, dry indoor astro track would surly be a plus?)

Therefore i need some people to come down and try it out and in the future to race, so what days are best for you? I can do one night during the week (Tues/Weds/Thurs) and also one weekend, of full day testing/racing (Sat/Sun)

So what would be your choices?

Nope, due to no interest from anyone apart from the Child Family I shut it down. Now wet/windy and frosty bet people wish they tried in the summer
