TRCC new venue

[stewcc]

As of 13th November Teesside Racing Car Club will be racing at their new venue, 38B Dukesway, Thornaby Industrial Estate.

At first we will continue with the carpet racing we have been doing recently but when we get settled we will expand to look at 12th scale and off road.

We are also potentially open whenever needed, not just Saturday nights.

I will post more details asap

which building on this Map (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=thornaby&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=12.4489,27.685547&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Thornaby+on+Tees,+Stockton-on-Tees,+United+Kingdom&t=h&ll=54.519986,-1.291752&spn=0.011931,0.043387&z=15) ?

The unit just above the A in Jay Ave.
Why the address is Dukesway I dont know.
I will post full details soon.

The TRCC web site show the wrong building.
The coordinates are 54-31-02.03 N 1-17-27.59 W
or approximately
54.51732 N 1.29110 W

Its obvious when you are approaching the venue.

From the A19 turn off towards Thornaby at the Parkway (A174) junction.
Come to a T junction, light controlled but turn left on filter lane towards Ingleby Barwick.
Go directly across the Ingleby Barwick roundabout, take 1st turn on left (signed Industrial estate on very dirty sign).
1st right onto Dukes Way (Jay Ave). Directly across Allison Avenue and warehouse is on left (far end of building)

Is it as good as the warehouse was?

Is it as good as the warehouse was?

Not quite, posted on another forum by Stewart,


We have acquired a new warehouse for a permanent track.
It is not as big as the old one but will give a good sized track, lots of pitting and easy access.

[stewcc]

Well. Everything now into new venue. Carpet out but we'll wait a few days before taping it down. Seems pretty flat already. Will report on Wednesday.
We have installed power to every pitting station but we are devoid of tables and chairs at the moment. So until further notice PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN TABLES AND CHAIRS.

Remember FREE racing for members on Saturday following the AGM. Not a championship round so some drivers are trying modifieds / brushless in F1. Should be illuminating.

and so does the post code on the home page, still points to the Scout Hut ;)

check out Stewart's video's on YT of the new venue

Best of luck with the new venue. I have fond memories of the warehouse and another permanent venue can only be good for the club and the hobby.

The scout hut wasn't that bad mind you... you should see how much smaller the venues I race in now are...

Looked in last night and it looks promising venue for the club.

As above 240v is available + Hot food and drinks

I may be tempted back racing again at club level next weekend with the F1 or Mardave Sidecar or both :woot:

Not sure about off-road cars running yet so check with the club or Stewart may confirm on here.

Hi All

Just to let everyone know that the new venue is open on Wednesday night 17th Nov. for practice or just a general look around from 6pm to 8.30+. If you haven't been before please come and get help to set your car up or just to get advice from other experienced members. Track fees are £3 but you get the first three track sessions free if you are new to the Club - so no excuse not to give it a try. We are more than willing to help non-racers with car problems of any kind.

[Liamprice25]

Hi I'm new to racing, I recently bought a tiger thunder phoenix 2wd 1/10th buggy. Looking to get racing and wondering if you'd be having buggies racing there? Are there any midweek racing there on a regular basis?

[Chequered Flag Racing]

At first we will continue with the carpet racing we have been doing recently but when we get settled we will expand to look at 12th scale and off road.

No streaming video. Decided to stay at home due to the snow. Not worth the a bump in the road car just to play with toys.

What happened to posting yesterday's date chocy?, racing was on the 2nd January also. Guess we both forgot. :blush:

It was a good turn out though with 7 heats with Mardave, F1's, Mod TC, TT01's etc. Nice to see some of chocy's Mardave mates up from down south, well North Yorkshire :D. Get my tyres sorted for the Mardave Sidecar and I'll be up with those 4 wheelers

[andyr]

had some good racing yesterday big thanks to the club well run and well worth the 90 mile drive for me cheers guys :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Ok i finally got round to doing a complete rebuild of the TRCC website (http://www.rccarclub.co.uk/trcc/), hopefully making it easier for members to keep up to date and see whats going on. I have added some pics of the new warehouse and some videos of race night.
