Default Where to race in Shropshire?
I have recently moved to Telford and have decided to get back into racing after 15 years I have a ZX-5 but nowhere to go!

Any recommendations greatly received!

The Ludlow club race outdoors on a grass track on Tuesday nights in the summer, and indoors in the winter.
I'm not sure when they will be racing outdoors again, but I expect it to be in the next few weeks.

Hereford club run indoor off-road on Friday nights, in Leominster.

Thanks for the responses

I will check out Telford Hot Trax, soon!

I am also looking to promote my renewable energy company, Electric RC fits the bill well + its my hobby! so will chuck some funds over to my local RC club for a few banners!

Cheers

Colin

What sort of time do you normally finish? And how many runs do you get in a night?

Phil,

It's around 10:00 finish, a bit late for some, but unfortunately we are unable to get the facility any earlier (It's been the same for many years). We have a bit of free practice whilst booking in, (time dependant on help putting out track). We then run three qualifying heats and a round of finals. Current average attendance is 18 drivers. See you there Wednesday ?

Not this Wednesday, I'm in Glasgow . But I'll be there next week, to give the cars a shakedown before the Indoor Finals.

Is this at the small golf place on the left, just after you go over the A49?

Might be interested in popping over one of the weeks.

turns out we've lost that venue Phil.

Next week we'll be relocating down behind the castle at the rugby club. I'll update how the track is there once we've had a nice.
