Buggy away races

[mark79]

Where's good for racing buggies indoors further afield these days? I had a look on Oople but couldn't figure out which ones are best.

I wouldn't mind doing some meetings down south over the winter :-D

Anyone else up for it?

We went to York for the Indoor finals a few years back..... it was good, however everyone was using mini pin tyres which are like driving with velcro on your tyres! they grip sooo much - so didn't really enjoy it that much. The down fall is that these sort of tyres don't last more than one race which means the meetings can get very expensive! Keep looking on Oople sure you'll see some events.

Mark, I would be up for some racing down south over the winter, should be able to split the fuel costs etc to car share. I'll have a look on oople and see what I can find, places like Jarrow (Newcastle), Batley, York and southport (if they have an indoor venue)

You still up for Falkirk this sunday ? I'll email chris, see if he wants to go.

If you look out the venue i'll do the driving! I'm sure Chris will be up for it too.

Its gonna be a month or two til i sort out my touring car for the carpet champs so i thought some buggy stuff would do nicely in the meantime.

Nice one, the bigger the turn out / venue the better for me really.

I'll be looking at doing some bigger indoor touring stuff also after xmas such as the one down in sheffield depending on timing and booking.

Nitro at csor will be once a month for winter series most likely but i want to get as much time on the cars as poss over winter.

Right then, Bury on the 1st of November.

Any takers?

[raymondkerr]

I Should manage the 1st Nov Mark, roughly how much are we talking for fuel ? I think the race entry is £10 (pre booked) or £12 (on the day)

Do we book ahead of time, by emailing an entry form or just pay on the day?

Need to see what Chris thinks ?

Raymond.

PS: Got an LRP X12 7.5 on the way, looking forward to next wednesday.

[mark79]

I'll send my form off in the next day or so if you can def go.

My wee car does good milage so i would reckon a tank each way (£30 each way)

7.5? I saw that about half an hour after i got home last wed on Oople! Any more **** and my 5.5 is going in the D4!
