Norwich Slot Car Racing

[GreigR]

Hi Guys

Just a quick post to see if anyone is interested.

Myself and a couple of others run a Slot Car club in Rackheath, we race on Monday evenings on a 4 lane wooden routed track with timing gear etc. It's a mixture between adults and kids (12yrs+) and we run 6 classes. Hot and cold food available. 7pm until 9.30 ish.

We're looking for new members, if anyone fancies trying it out just get in touch. It's always a good laugh.

A few website links for cars etc:

Is that Scalectrix ?

Sounds like fun.

Slot car racing!

That brings back some memories of the late 60's, when we built a 6 lane track that was over 120 feet in length, at RAF Watton.

Do you make your own cars?

We used build our own cars, 1/32nd scale, and then tune the engines. Yes you can tune electric engines.

In fact I still have a few of my cars around somewhere. Tried to use them on a Scalectrix track some years ago, but they were way too fast for a 'Scaly' track.

Happy days.

Hi, yes it is sort of. It's not on a plastic Scalextric track but a 100ft routed wooden one with 4 lanes.

It is a good laugh especially in the winter months. If anyone fancies having a try just get in touch. I'll get a few pictures and post them here over the weekend.

Hi Guys

Just a quick post to say, we've just resurfaced the track to give more grip and added some more scenery etc. Everyone is more than welcome to come and have a go. (We moved from Rackheath down to Salhouse). Every Monday 7pm onwards.
