Default NEW FANTASTIC VENUE FOR HINCKLEY RADIO CONTROLLED CAR CLUB

Hi guys,

Well there has been lots of hard work going on behind the scenes at Hinckley Radio Controlled Car Club and I am pleased to confirm that we will be running our first club meeting on Saturday 14th May at the new venue.

It would be fantastic if you would join us on Saturday to set our season off with a bang so spread the word.

We know that moving to a new venue is no easy task, and as such has been... and will be an ongoing learning experience for us all. We would greatly appreciate any feedback from 'the drivers' on how we can improve our club further and make it one of the best racing venue's in the West Mids region.

We have been working flat out to organize a new 40ft container with a rostrum installed safely on top of it. Many of you that have raced at our club in the past will know that the rostrum was one of the few things that let us down, and so this is an enormous improvement.

We are very proud of our achievements and so wish to wet ur appetite with some sneaky pics of our new rostrum:













We will be painting the rostrum and the container soon to make it look pretty but our main concern was to get it up and working in time for our first meeting on Saturday. A HUGE thank you must go out to Darren and Greg for the hard work they put in... I'm sure you'll agree the construction of the rostrum surpassed everybody's expectations.

The ground itself will be flat grass like we ran at our previous venue - this venue has the added benefit of having additional land next to the track for people to pit close to the action:





We want to keep our track as a grass track as we believe this is our main USP... there aren't many grass tracks around so we were very keen to keep ours. We will in the near future be introducing permanent obstacles within the track such as banked corners, inbuilt table tops and jumps, possible paved sections and astro sections but still maintain the majority of the track as grass... we'll keep all up to date as the track improves over time.

Here is an example of the kind of tracks we used to run at our previous venue to give those who haven't raced with us before a taste of what we have to offer:















I believe we have Tom Yardy and a few friends joining us on Saturday to offer us advice on what improvements to make so the racing standard looks to be high... would be great to see you all there.

Many thanks, Jon Seals!
