Not sure what a Riot truggy is - but if you don't own a Personal Transponder, when you race with us one is loaned to you as part of your race fee.
Unless you're intending on racing regularly and possibly further afield, there's no necessity to buy your own (unless you're minted) - just use the club's.
Look forward to seeing you at the track sometime. |

Hi Peter
Race subs are a fiver on a Tuesday evening, that will get you 3 heats and finals depending on numbers turning up. You will at some point need to sort out your BRCA licence (read insurance!) if you don't already have it, but we can do this through the club.
Hope to see you Tueaday.
Cheers

floodlit ? HA! wish it was, that's on our 'to-do' list after an awful lot of other things.
You know anyone in the flood light business? |

Thanks for the link, You'll find here that most of us run 1/8th buggy and truggy - BUT, Those in the past that have come with 1/10th scale have usually done reasonably well - the disadvantage you'll have is the size - visibility at distance, and possibly the 2WD - but then again you might not, come anyway and have a go.
Shame about the floodlights, know anyone into groundworking, owners of JCB's? |

You know Admin? you worry me, bet you'd find it hard to find your way out of a paper bag......
We are closer to 1, but in the bottom of the photo - our track is not actually on this photo - (Google earth? about 5 years old) but if you see the access to the field (bottom right) you enter there and turn left. What you're actually seeing there is Daves's motocross circuit. |
