I have started to re-vamp the club's web site. Keep a look at www.trcc.org.uk for updates.

After the questions asked at the AGM I have made some enquiries. They confirm what i said on Saturday. TRCC runs as a club affiliated to the BRCA and its constitution is based upon the BRCA's. The club requires everyone who uses the racing faciities to carry personal liability insurance, however obtained. The BRCA recognises all sorts of model car events, even if they do not have a specific section for classes that do not organise national events. That includes drifting amon...gst others and the insurance provided by BRCA membership fully covers all members who partake in drifting. The BRCA executive are currently looking into having a catch-all section for these "out-liers". If the drifting fraternity wish to put forward rules, events and particularly National Championships, then they could well get a section of their own. The BRCA insurance that comes with membership is the cheapest Personal Liability cover of which I am aware. If anyone has their own insurance cover then BRCA membership is not compulsory for racing at TRCC. However written proof must be shown when racing / requested.

Looks like we have found somewhere to move to. Sorting out the legal stuff. Is it big enough? Think of Skippers Lane and treble it. Go on Google maps street view to TS3 8AT. More news as we have it. Keep fingers crossed.

The 1st round of the NE off-road regional series was held on Sunday. It went better than had been expected but could have seen more drivers. A number of drivers who had raced the previous 3 Sundays were absent. We encourage all racers to become involved with the "larger" events. Generally the more the merrier. Don't think "I'm not good enough". If you race at club level you are good enough to race anywhere. Anyway. The regional was over a modified version of the tracks we had had been using over the last month. It had faster straights, more difficult jumps and a slippy hairpin that caused a lot of problems. Both 2 and 4WD classes were dominated by Craig Collinson (as usual) but there was close racing all the way down the heats, Full results can be seen at www.results.trcc.org.uk

Racing this weekend reverts to the usual format. Saturday starts with drifting and helicopters from lunchtime, track practise starts at 4.00pm on road and off road. Racing starts from about 6.00. There will be changes at the club over the next few weeks. Details will be posted as soon as they become clear. The club AGM is being held on Saturday 14th November at 4.00pm. Free buffet for members. Normal race fees.

So Round 3 was an even better success. many thanks to all NEAM drivers who came down. I hope you enjoyed yourselves, even if you had to get up early.Next week it's even earlier. The regional starts at 7.30 doors open. For TRCC racers,Saturday evening racing will be shortened to allow the track to be laid out for Sunday. We will race normally until 9.00 and then we will set up the Off-road track.

Reminder to all that On road racing is on as normal on Saturdays. The Sunday is an extra leading up to the 1st round of the regional series to be held at TRCC, York and Seaham over the autumn/winter. Book into the regionals via the NE consortium web site. http://www.brca-northeast.net/

TRCC is looking to hold a buggy competition on Sunday 20th September. This will be different to all other buggy meets as it will be held in the main race room of the club in place of the current TC track.

A quick reminder to all members, due to the regional buggy event this weekend TRCC will remain closed. The club will be open as usual from Monday

Reminder to everyone. Unlike many other clubs, TRCC will continue with full calendar of race meetings throughout August.

There will be no off-road practise available this wednesday. The track is being dismantled before being transported to Preston Park on Friday. On road and drifting not affected.

TRCC has unfortunately not been assigned a 1/12th scale national this year. So instead we will be running a series of events between the National weekends. Dates to be confirmed but generally the Saturday before the National. All LMP12 classes will be catered for alongside normal club racing. Pre-booking advised but not essential. More details later.
