Scalextric Evening 9th Feb

[TransAmDan]

More details will follow, and event was mentioned at the Christmas meal. This would be ideal for a club get together. Racing the scalextric cars is a great social get together as well as taking care of the competitive urge.

Not sure if we can bring our own cars. I was gonna search for one on eBay of a Trans-Am.

Another thing we can talk about at our next club meeting.

EDIT: Booked in for 9th Feb, see Malc on 29th Jan club meet to get yourself listed for this and to pay the ?12.

More info....

Its at a place called Bolwextric, its in Clanfield. Bolwextric Scalextric slot car racing track circuit party club Clanfield Hampshire PO8 0RN Kitchen building works

for up to 14 people its ?165 for the evening(?12 per head) , over 14 people the price comes down to around ?7.50 per head.

The track is 6 lanes wide, so plenty of cars to race against, also its a championship style race. When 6 people are racing the other people can stand around the track at certain corners putting cars back on when they fly off (as I'm sure they will)

They have two sets of muscle cars, including Plymouth and NASCAR's, so ideal for our club.

They have other club events on Mondays and Thursdays so we cant go then. We can all work out a day and month that suits us. Deposits will be required for this one.

Malc knows the chap that runs this place.

Good idea they may have one on there and you can use your voucher.
Although I don't think you can use your own cars on this night from what Malc was saying.
We will have some shelves up to put your Camaro's on one day, next to my Trans-Am's

 

[matt 103]

cool i like the bumble bee one awesome

 

[malc 23]

Before you all go out and buy car's you CAN'T use your own car. You race in a championship against evereyone on the night all using the same make of car in each race , 6 of you then race in a grand final for 1st 2nd 3rd place trophes. we need max 24 people, I have already got 6 names so on club night we will choose a date and i would like a ?5 deposit. so if you wanna race bring your money.please spread the word,if we get to many names i can organize two nights.
