Any interest in a new club in Bristol?

[sosidge]

Hi all,

I've been offered a venue for RC racing in North Bristol. Easy access from the A4 Portway.

Track area is approx 15x10m, and there is storage and pitting space on site. Club nights would most likely be Tuesday.

Could be used for any electric class.

If you are interested (or know someone who might be) please contact me at davidallenxyz(at)googlemail.com, or via this site.

Thanks,

Dave.

Mmmmm....me please boss!!!

Would be ace, my only prob would be the tuesday night bit...the big thumb from above might be a factor :o And if your doing those flat track thingys...:p

Sounds interesting though, I'm sure you'd get some interest from the English contingent at the Caldicot club...maybe even some of the welsh boys would have a go to?

Good luck with it anyway, more racing options must be a good thing, and Bristol is severely lacking in those right now.

Thanks Andy, I agree that Tuesday is not ideal, but I'm still interested to hear from others in the Bristol area that would support a club in the city.

If this venue/date doesn't suit, I'm willing to put a little more work into finding somewhere else - if there are enough would-be racers.

Defo interested. :thumbsup:
1/10th Off Road
Tues sounds good. Don't clash with Caldicot on a Fri as some might do both.

Hey Dave,

I'd be interested in some mid week racing, I wouldn't be able to commit to every week though as its a bit of a late night trek on a school night but I'd aim for as much as possible because i need as much opportunity to try and break my tamiya as possible! :)

Defo interested! we always have to travel to wales or swindon to get our kicks. I will be well up for it! Forgat to say that I am happy to run buggy or mini!

[robkeogh]

Id be all over it! :thumbsup:
fed up with having to travel to chippenham/swindon/caldicot (though i must admit, its a good laugh in Wales).
1/10th buggys (with jumps galore) all the way!
Can you open a new shop while your at it, Antics is sh*te...
Tuesdays fine with me.

[sosidge]

Thanks for your support.

I think opening a shop is a little bit beyond my ambitions though!

[Belsten]

I would deffo be there, get it done :thumbsup:

Youve done it before Dave!!

Pretty good apart from having no tracks nearby... hence this thread!

[chris68nufc]

Here here!! Im the same!!

[sosidge]

But you've got a club in the toon Chris!

[mrspeedy]

We'd be up for some some of that :thumbsup: WORM at Weston-s-mare is our home club, and is on tuesday nights which is a shame but we only race micro's, and every other week so we should be able to get along regular enough ....

Have you considered an outdoor track at all ? We did have a look at some land directly underneath the Avonmouth bridge which is not only in the dry but also vacant and crying out for an RC track to be built on it :D

Keep us posted on this one ...

[RogerM]

HELL YEAH!!!! As I can't do Fridays very often (2nd job in the hostility industry) I'd love there to be a weekday evening club. I'm based in Cheltenham but work about half way between there and Bristol so would suit perfectly!!

I'm sure there are a few of the Gloucestershire based boys who would come down and play too.

I can only really run 1/10th buggy though at the moment.

[coolcars782]

I would be interested if it was not mid week racing cause of gcse's at the mo but when there over bring it on. My club is tiverton rccc, the only 1/10th in the south west I beleive. And they only race every other Sunday as from April.

Anymore news on this mate????

[JonMack]

Only just seen this, would definitely be interested if there was regular micro racing, but as i'm a member at WORM i'd only be able to attend every other week.

News... as you may have seen in another thread, someone else is pursuing a PERMANENT indoor track in Bristol at this time... I've put my plan on hold until he has had an opportunity to get his project started...

Dave

[Matisse]

sos, si from worm knows the guy looking to start a permanant track, is this a case where you could work together to make this a reality?

He is very welcome to contact me although I doubt I could offer very much knowledge that he doesn't have already!

It's the one about free track materials a little bit further down.

[mrspeedy]

I think its more about working together on this to make it happen if possible.:thumbsup:

I don't know any details on any of this yet but am looking forward to find out more soon :)

[RogerM]

Usually a case of not enough people wanting to help!

Hope this comes off :)

Or too many cooks?

Either way, it'll be good to see if anything off-road comes to Brizzle in the future :)

[Ralph_C]

I've already emailed Dave about this, but thought I'd let you others know I'm another who'd be up for racing in Bristol.:thumbsup:

Have only ever raced touring and 12th indoors, but would definitely be up for off-road or another class if that was what was going.

[colsey2009]

Would be a brilliant idea To set up a club but would u concider running track cars ie gt or touring or alternating between the two? Maybe run 2 nights to cover both on and off ?

[mrspeedy]

Hopefully not :p

[colsey2009]

Flat things would prove popular as nearest is 40 miles away and off road is down with u or caldicot witch I still have not been to as of yet! where u thinking of the town hall in shire for holding a club ?
