Contraversial (Fun) Subject?

Hello Gentlemen!

Chris Church did say he thought the blog was going abit quiet and was in need of a possible contraversial subject. I don't like to disappoint so here it is:

Whats the general opinion of POSSIBLY inviting the EAHORC to the club for one Sunday later in the year? Or maybe later next year?

If you look on the BSCRA website site you can see they've been to FLBT in Swindon and brought their own track and placed it over the top of the exisiting 1/32 track. I believe that we (well i will atleast) should remain open to other scale racing and use this an a FUN insight into HO racing (Even if you do see them as toys)

Well Roedale Racers do be kind with your responses. I bruise like a peach!

Slot cars in the caribbean!

Hi everyone,

I was on the Caribbean island of St Maartin yesterday, walking along the boardwalk by the beach and a sign outside a yellow shack catches my eye: Slot Car Raceway. Intrigued I walked up the steps and into the door and what the hell, a pukka slot car track! A Paul Ogilvie at that too. It is a copy of the "Indy" track at Millstream.

Got talking to the owner, a Reggie Coran, who has been racing slot cars internationally for years and counts Kimo Ratner and Ernie Mossetti as close friends(!). Any one of you heard of a Reggie Coran? He showed me his trophies for all the things that he has won.

I did take a couple of pictures, soon as I can I'll get them posted up and a link put in for them, but those who have been to Millstream know what the track looks like. It was just so odd to find it in the Caribbean!

He has a shop full of stuff too, and as the Dollar is so weak against the Pound I might just buy some bits! Our itenery takes us back there in 3 weeks, I'm going to see him again and have a go on the track. If I'd known he was there I would have got my cars sent over!

Anyhow, I'll be back in England on 24th April, which is a Thursday, but I probably wont be at club until the week after.

See you all then!
