Halesowen model car club run on a Friday night between 7-10. It's good fun and the people are friendly. All are welcome.

I'm loving the sound of Wednesday night at Midlands Raceway and the track looks great.

Looking at the website and regarding tyres and classes on a Wednesday...

Website says: "No Spiked or Pin tyres. Staggered fronts may be used. Slick tyres may be used"..... Am I correct in assuming foams are fine then or Shuey Venoms????

Also, what classes run on Wednesday nights? I have 1/10 2 and 4wd buggy (XRAY XB2 & XB4???? Is there any motor or ESC restrictions??

Assuming all of the above is ok and visitors are welcome, I will be there for sure.

Wednesday night 1/10th 2wd & 4wd are run and micros. The main tyre we use are Schumacher Venoms but foams are fine to use also. If you don't have a set of Venoms then there will be a set glued up available for you to use on the night

Visitors are always welcome, look forward to seeing you next Wednesday.
