Broxtowe wednesday nights off road

[dbizzle5]

Broxtowe Model Car Club held there first mid week off road meeting today on a multisurface track using the permanent tarmac track with astro laid down, jumps, and incorporating some grass. Despite having shite weather all day there was a very good turn out and the rain held off long enough to run practice and nearly 3 rounds of racing. Track was really good despite not being able to use all the available grass due to the wetness. Meetings will be on every wednesday from now so if your looking for some mid week racing then it is definatly worth the visit.

[telboy]

what time do they start on a wed?

[Spoolio]

Blimey, I'm surprised the rain held off. Over our office in Mansfield its been pretty torential most of the time since lunch, so I didn't bother schlepping down for a look-see at the track. Soz.

[dbizzle5]

No pics unfortunatly. Gates open at 6pm Tel with racing under way by about 7ish.

[RSharpy]

No pics, will take a video next week.

Gates open at 6, think racing got under way for about 7 or just before, can't remember the adsact time was to busy eating my supper.

[RSharpy]

Old Bizzle beat me to it again...

[Robbiejuk]

Started about ten to seven as thats when I went home

The track looked good and is well worth going for some mid week racing. I will be there next week

So what was the tyre wear like then guys?

[RSharpy]

Rob, tyre wear was heavy tbh but they didn't use the large grass area in the centre of the track due to it being to wet. When we are able to use that part on sunny summer evenings (fingers crossed) it should cut down on having to use as much tarmac.

Its never going to be ideal from a tyre wear point of view but it is ideal for a bit of mid week practice.

PS nice one for the shell, looks all good mate
