Wales?
I'm assuming Wales is still a region, but there doesn't seem to be a lot going on, the WRCA website doesn't have any details for 2008 and the forum is down.
I wouldn't mind racing close to home this year, does anyone have any info? Cheers |

right, the forum is closed, and they are looking at revamping the website (even if I have to do it myself).
Now, here is the bad bit, there will only be two regional meetings, one in the east of wales and one Swansea way, it will be a mixed meeting (nitro and electric). CPBRA are looking at doing a few things this year though Pete, one being a car show at Chepstow.

It's a shame there is not such a big following of 1/10th offroad in wales anymore. I live in sunny beautiful south west wales and i used to race welsh regionals many years ago @ Caldicot, Abergavenny, Tivyside, Saundersfoot, Neath, Oakdale and others which all had a great turnout. I started back last year and there wasn't much going on so i did the Mid West, just like the old days but cost alot more in traveling. V Good racing and a friendly atmosphere. I know Caldicot still has 1/10th as do Cobra.
Why don't all the clubs merge and have at least one big welsh meet to try and drum up some interest?(i'd be there in a flash) |

I used to do all the Welsh regionals, where you have to book in prior to the event to ensure a place, Teifisde, Saundersfoot, Swansea, Neath, Cardiff, Oakdale, Caldicot, Newport and Abergavenny.
I think a few drivers grew up, found women etc, and then touring cars killed the rest off. The two regionals are suppose to now be 'super meetings' big and busy to try and attract club drivers to race.

Well thats what happened to me Steve !!!! Yeah right It is a massive shame, years ago you used to struggle to get an entry with 100+ entrants at meetings, I saw the steady decline in numbers over the years, I will certainly aim to support the clubs this year |
