dottymardon - February 20, 2010 09:01 PM (GMT)
Hi all,
So I am rather new to the rc world.
Are there any venues, race tracks etc in the SW London area?
If there are any all you fine people know about please will you share. Parks just isn't doing it anymore !!!
Thanks

I am in Wandsworth. The only little track we have is a small oval track just off Garrett Lane.
Im running a Hpi Trophy 4.6 truggy. Snapped my rear axle for the second time this afternoon, a weak point !!! Hmmm

As we are beginners, I would like to think its fun for now but perhaps later racing would be good.

I've been there, great little spot... gets your car real dirty tho :D
Me and jhn68 have been going to Crystal Palace regularly, ianski has come along when he's been available.
You need to set your car up for on-road, if you don't then wave bye bye to the off road tread on your tyres :D
If you're up for it, send me a PM and I'll let you know when we're next down there... might even be next weekend :)

Hey Wandsworth, i am in Hammersmith..lol, thats not a bad little oval track. Whts i like for people, do they complain about the noise etc etc do you get whords of youngsters asking stupid questions likwe would bet a Mucilago of the lights lo :gay: How far away is the car park...thats the important factor
maybe you could send me a map link. i have done some grass track oval racing before heaps of fun when theres 5 or more buggies. Besides i am not a great driver and an oval is about my limit ...lol :joker:
Hpi Trophy... Hmmm had mixed rep[orts about them but its Hpi and they are normally sound. so maybe just unlucky :P i deffo fancy a bit of oval track racing

Garratt Park's Abandoned Cycle Speedway Dirt Oval Google Maps linkIf you're both up and running next weekend, might be worth going there instead of CP?

dottymardon - February 21, 2010 08:52 PM (GMT)

I'm free any day this weekend and I'm flexible (Crystal Palace or Garratt Park). So I'll let the rest of you decide the day and location :)
