Having relocated to Minehead I am keen to replicate some of the scale motorsport fun I had back in the midlands. My current circuit is 40+ft of Scalextic Digital mounted on boards for use at home or club venue. PM me if you are local and interested in some digital slot racing, if there is enough support there could be regular events and a potential circuit upgrade.

Hi Duncan, could you drop me a PM with a few more details of the set up you have. I can't currently send PMs as using a mobile for internet.

It's the ideal base for one of the best areas in the country.

Exmoor
Quantock Hills
Rugged coastline
Great roads
Only one speed camera
Mountain biking
Somerset Stages Rally
Europe's 1st Dark Skies Site
Great live music
Friendly locals

I don't really want to tell too many people in case it gets too crowded down here!

Yeah your pretty sorted for mountain biking with exmoor on your door step and the quantocks a short drive away.

Rugged coastline fair enough but the waters brown wink, what sort of live music do you get in minehead? i'm more towards bishops lydeard so head to bristol/exeter for live music.

A great afternoon racing that went on much longer than expected. Layout has had a makeover, still some changes to make though.

Do you race ordinary slot cars or are digital ones different?

Hi Egor

We race digital cars, the difference is that they are fitted with a Scalextric chip. Almost any analogue car can be chipped but we race specific classes to keep the competition level and fair. Club cars are available.

See our club section at http://www.slotforum.com/forums/index.php?showforu... or on facebook. Next meeting is 7pm on 7th Jan.
