Does anyone know of any indoor meetings in 2009 (weekend, not weekday club) around the 'South-West' region?

By which I mean anywhere within 50 miles of Gloucester?

There seems to be so many good series up North yet not much down here? Or am I just looking in the wrong places?

COBRA got a meeting this weekend, buggy championship, with a side helping of touring cars, so there will be jumps and bumps.

Look at the Dudley meetings

http://www.dudleyradiocarclub.co.uk/club-news/60-winterseriesannounced

not too far from Gloucester.

usually a decent track layout with around a 14 second lap on a decent surface too.

Yeah Dudley is okay...just wish the f***ing footballers would shut that door, cos it gets bloody cold sometimes...

Never enough jumps tho, cos they have Mardaves and Tourers running round as well :thumbdown:

yeah it is damn cold. I dont mind it being a bit flat. Very quick as a result. Sharpens up those reactions :thumbsup:

It's never "flat" just racing is all about car control in the corners, you can't build tracks with loads of jumps that flow in a confined indoor venue (about 2/3rds the track area of Newbury for comparison).

Mr Belsten has a very good point ..... if you want to quicken your reactions a high speed, high grip track will do that better than anything .... ever seen a guy who's quick at 1/12th struggle in any class for example????

Ive done 1/12th Mod, done 1/10th TC Mod (I hang my head in shame), and ive raced my S2 , B4 and B44 on flat(ish) high grip carpet tracks and just dont get any enjoyment from it.

Jumps..thats where its at.

Whos with me? w00t! w00t! lol
