    Hi Guys,

    The RCCAOI represents IC + Electric, On-road + Off-road clubs.

    It seems there is a community of monster truck guys who want to race.

    The one thing you have to look into is insurance. There is a big difference between a few mates meeting up for a race & organising a full on race day, you also have the public to worry about, depending on location.

    A monster truck club could be setup, a location to race is a problem. We might be able to adapt the track in Raheny that ORCA use but it would have to be raised with the committee first.

    ORCA have a series of 'Fun' days organised throughout the season, we might be able to run a Monster Truck race or 2, I'll raise this at our next committee meeting.

    The other thing you need to look into when racing is how do you tell who has won!! All the organised clubs have a computer based timing system which uses a transponder system which keeps track of every car racing etc.

    Its great fun but hard work to organise a successful race day, some of you should drop down to St. Annes to see a race day running & whats involved.

    If there is enough guys willing to do the work involved, it could be a great new part of the RC scene in Ireland.

    All the best

    Kevin
