I'd be up for either of those two

Always remember that track as it had that big tractor tyre in the middle as a corner.

Another good un was Caldicot, when they had an old BMX Track IIRC

That was when it was down by the Castle wasn't it or the other venue they had. Both were good.

No that track was at the rugby club in Portskewet, right behind Darren Watsons house. Vera had put nomes and flowers in all the car tyres on the corners

Not sure if ive missed any posts regarding wrca at swansea? Any news yet?

Dyna · #50 19-08-2010

As Dave has said above - any news on the Swansea Regional and if its actually going to be held ?

Its only supposed to be 3 and a bit weeks away, nice to be able to plan ahead ?

big dave · #51 20-08-2010

As said before in this thread. Swansea will be holding its round. We haven't put anything on here yet, as we are trying to get a really nice venue, along with camping etc, just waiting for conformation, then we will post on here. i know time is ticking away, but we will run the round 100% as we have been offered the use of pembrook's track and we have had an offer from talywain, so it will go ahead.

That's all we needed to know

Pops · #53 20-08-2010

Good news

I heard a rumour it may be at the motorsports centre at Pembrey Nr Llanelli, is this true Dave? Would be awesome if it's true.

it was true. but had the phone call yesterday saying we cant use it. The owner of pembrey motor circuit wanted us to run an event there so any spectators could come over and watch us racing inbetween the 1:1 car racing. so we would have been right in the thick of it. amazing bit of advertising for the rc sport. "BUT" as luck would have it, our date the 12th of septembre is the only date that there is no events on at the pembrey circuit. There are no dates left so we can't change the date. and the owner can't open up the circuit for just us to use, as the cost would be high. So we will arrange to hold an event there next year.

It's looking like we will use saundersfoot clubs track to hold our round, it balance's the championship that way, as there will be two rounds at talywains track, to the east and two rounds held at the pembrook track to the west.

hopefully next year Swansea will have another track for outdoor use, we have been fighting all year so far trying. We have had a planning permission application rejected for one plot of land, and no help from the council. so fingers crossed we can build a venue through the winter ready for the start of the season next April. We still have our indoor venue, so we are back in there from the first sunday of October

Jamie.T · #56 21-08-2010

That is a real shame Dave, bit I personally don't mind going to Saundersfoot either, it's such a great track and venue.

chris (reg) reardon · #57 21-08-2010

the track is really well thought out beat axman there once see if i can make it a double

all sounds good for swanse club next year though indoor sounds much better over the winter i,l b there

Pops · #58 21-08-2010

Good news all round then Dave...Back at your awesome indoor venue(any club or wrca indoor champs for the winter?) in october...Another round at Saundersfoot

and a new outdoor venue for Swansea next year

I'd say thats a result

axeman · #59 23-08-2010

Looking forward to comming to swansea over the winter!!! from my understanding a lot of the nitro boys are having a break this winter and have all been buying 1/10th rally cross... So mr guppy should be some good numbers and good banter!!!

a few boys down here are buying 10th aswell to run as a second class with the micro, so it should be a good winter series this indoor season.
