Indoor Rc race centre Stockport

[martgifford]

Much respect and kudos.

I like it!
From a "serious racer" perspective I'd be tempted to have it all as one track, but for what you seem to be aiming for it looks spot on.
Definitely seems more 1/16 than 1/10, but pics can be deceiving...

Hi Col,
Thank you for your comment! Because its indoors its a bit more difficult. We have tried to make the most of the space given. With the pillars in the way this is the best we could come up with. Of course we do listen to the feedback from our customers and will always try to fulfill their wishes. One day we might build a big track .
Come and see us sometime.

It would be gread to see a few guys down with different scale car to see how many 1/10th 1/12th mardaves ect we can push round the track and get some feedback from fellow racers.

There also is another room at the back waiting on development as the club grows

There is also roof access for drone action in the future.

oh very nice place, how many people it can hold

[Pitman]

Hi foodingre

Because there are two tracks and two rostrums they could probably do 6 -7 cars per track at the same time

And how many people can they fit hmm mm...it's quite a big place with other big rooms leading of the main track room

Guess they will find out in time when the club nights start up

Hi daz75

Yes loved macctrac back in the day the cold Temps in the evening changed the grip levels and kept it interesting for the first corner in the finals lol

When you lost the old place in macc and it moved to Stockport

Rc dragon is just the other side of the motorway and the place is 3 times bigger

Just out of interest how much are the race fees and car hire etc

Yeah it's opposite pear mill isn't it drove past the other day might be worth getting some big banners made up if your allowed to put them on the a6 near the Johnstone paint signs??

[Pitman]

There are multiple banners on the road you turn up to the mill to give good directions to people looking for the track but maybe a few put on the main road will work too

Thousands of cars a day pass there so would make sense to advertise there, means passing trade might see it rather than people who happen to turn up the side road

[Rc Dragon]

We are working on putting up a banner on the main road.

my boys and me went for a visit on Saturday, its a really nice setup and the boys enjoyed driving the 18th scale ions round

[Mr Satchell]

Good job mate. Think this place would be perfect for a stock built series.
Would have to be 12th scale or micros tho. I would be up for that once a month

[daz75]

A lap counting setup is needed as per the other thread first thing my lads asked was how many laps did they do

[Pitman]

lap counting system is expensive but its something were working on getting in the future

[Pitman]

So another club night been and gone and good reviews from the attendees

Kamtecs 'IRace' system is £300 plus £13 per transponder, good place to get started.
