Change of Venue

Sadly I found out last week that the Conservative Club are selling their premises in Leyton, so no more national races will be held there. Luckily though we have a venue in Finchley lined up that will be even cheaper.

Once we move John Ovens track into the new venue, we can then start to think about what kind of layout to add to it. We will post pictures once this process begins.

BSCRA Affiliation

Today LHORC applied for Affiliation to the British Slot Car Racing Association. EAHORC already has a good standing with several people within that organisation and it seemed only fair whilst building on that (or trying to) to stump up a little money!

Our sister Club HOSS is also considering a similar move, and they already have something major (I should say huge) lined up with BSCRA, news of which will probably break on the EAHORC forum nearer the time.

We will also be working with HOSS on a display at this event - please come along if you can.

Irons in the fire!

Early days yet and I'm keeping my cards close to my chest but it looks as if yesterdays meet may have given us the possibilty of a permenant venue in which to hold regular weekday meetings. Watch this space!!

First LHORC meeting breaks record!!

Well, that went quickly! It does not seem long ago I found the venue and booked it and now our first ever race, an EAHORC national, is behind us. I'm very happy to say we introduced lots of new people to HO and handily broke the record for attendance of an EAHORC meeting, extending it from 17 to 21.

Jim Kelly came within an ace of coming back to form at full bore, but lost the F1 final in the last couple of seconds to Martin Hill. So Martin instead took another clean sweep, and heads three EAHORC championships. Jim and Jamie Kelly (no relation) were the other 2 stars of the meet, although young Jacqs Morgan ran them close with an amazing 20.5 in one of her Can class heats to take the juniors gold medal.

Check out the EAHORC website for all the details later in the week.
