ryan

Do you have somewhere to store track?

yes i have a place at the centre to store the track and pc.

What classes do you intend running? How many drivers has expresed an interest?Sounds good but remember that you already have Jarrow on a Tuesday which gets busier and busier every week and Teeside on a Wed (not sure for how long) Boring cars at Longbenton on Thursdays and i think Gateshead still on a Friday night but not sure of the details.
Good luck in setting up the club.Hope it goes well

[dr] Sound good to me, My side of the big cities. Easier to get to. 20min instead of about 60min.
As Chris asked what classes are you intending to race.

all classes will be run at some point.
as we are just starting up i want to see who and what type of cars they have so i can sort out the classes.
i am sure it will work as it will be cheap and very friendly i have raced all over the country and even over seas.
and to be honest some of the clubs have went nuts on rules and regs i want people to come and enjoy a good night and not feel pressured.
we will have nights i hope where we will run competition's and win a trophy or a prize.
all types of people are welcome novice/pro.
i still dont have any track and i am getting very worried now any track out there please

If you try phoning tyne port and ask the tug companies if they have any that they don't use anymore, thats how we got our ropes. I'll also have a look at jarrow on tuesday see what is there.

thank you i will give them a ring cheers

I had a look last night and to be honest there's no ropes that are any use, all our old stuff went somewhere else when we moved to jarrow.

just like to say a big thank you for the track this gives a little club a great start it will be kept safe for you.

thank you bill for sorting this out with your members.

thank you all :D

happy racing [dr]

cheers
