We're Racing Tamiya Cars In Hinckley On Saturday Afternoons.

[Eddystone]

Hello - just wanted to let everyone who might be interested know that we race Tamiya cars at Hinckley Radio Control Car Club ( that's Hinckley Leicestershire, about half way between Leicester and Coventry ) on a Saturday afternoon. We have a class ideally suited to racing Tamiya models old and new. The class is called QUICKSILVER and any chassis is allowed but the motor is limited to standard Tamiya type sealed 540 motors as included with most kits. We had a great race meeting today. The Quicksilver class had 18 drivers giving us 3 heats worth of racers. A majority of these drivers were running Tamiyas, mainly TT-01s. It's a friendly club and we have an enjoyable afternoons racing. Refreshments such as tea, coffee, crisps, Pot Noodles and sweets are also usually available from race control.

Winter indoor racing runs until the end of March. We're racing touring car type on-road chassis inside in a school sports hall on carpet. In May we go outdoors to run buggies on grass. So if you have a Tamiya and fancy giving racing a try come and join us in Hinckley. We know you'll enjoy it!

We also have 2 Quicksilver club cars available for anyone who wishes to try racing but may not have a suitable car. These can be booked in advance to secure.

If you need any info let me know and I'll try my best to help.

We'd love to see you at HinckleyRCCC.

Amen Brother...

I've raced for a number of years, but have never known a club as supportive of newcomers as Hinckley RCCC. Not only does it offer the free use of club cars (Quick Silver and Mardave classes), but there are friendly club members on hand to help with charging, car maintenance and hints and tips. For those that have their own cars, Hinckley RCCC has a supply of Quick Silver motors, touring car tyres and Mardave V12 parts for sale. These items are competively priced.

Quick Silver is an excellent way to introduce youngsters to racing, due to the low running costs, sensible speeds and general spirit of the class. This week we had a young lad (aged about 8) trying his hand at racing for the first time. He finished an impressive second in the C Final - he and his dad loved it and intend to be back for more fun next week.

As Richard mentioned, we race on Saturday afternoons. Booking in is from 12:00 with racing starting at about 13:00. Racing typically finished around 18:00. For your race fee (just £6) you get three heats of qualifying and a two-leg final (five races in total).

So anyone thinking about racing - don't be shy - contact Richard or myself and we'll be delighted to welcome you to Hinckley RCCC.

Cheers

James
