  • We head to Midlands Raceway for the end of year Reedy Race and get to put ourselves up against some of the best drivers in the UK... So we decided to popalong to Midlands Raceway to race experience the Reedy race format for the first time. We got a good 10-15mins of practice on the track before the competition started but there was not much time once it started for us to make changes to the cars so it was very much a case of 'run what you brung.'
    Carl was running the Schumacher LD3
    Mark was running the Team Associated B6.4
    Massive thank you to our race sponsors Rochester RC who help to keep us on the track. For a discount please use discount code :Popalongrc

      It’s a shame there’s not an indoor big indoor permanent track down south
      TORCH is a really good buggy buggy track in Southampton definitely worth a visit guys
      Keep up the videos lads I really enjoy them

    We really do need more facilities like that one. I'm near Oxford and there is a real RC void in this area.

    Wah if the race went 5pm for sure feel like 10pm. I liked York when I went for work but the 8am to 4pm sunlight was a no go for me. But for sure such a good scene there ❤

    A good video, but woefully short. I'd like to see more car running coverage! Where "South" would be good for a new race facility?

    You can't beat a good track walk of an evening.Especially after proper racing nutrients,such as Scottish style eggs and my favourite,a bit of a cow in a Bap,Bun or Cob, depending on the location of the track.Like yourselves,I have decidedly decided to post serious stuff.Mark,I have a great idea on how to make a double yolker of the Scottish egg.Hope the RC cars are ok.✌️

    I absolutely feel you on the whole it’s difficultly to get proper practice and improve when the closest RC racing facility is an hour + away. I’ve got two tracks one north one south both an hour and a half away (more with traffic) and both difficult for me to race at regularly between work and the distance. The worst part both are also my closest hobby shop. Can’t stress enough how important it is to support your local shops👍🏽

      We are fortunate to have several clubs about an hour from us … all are very busy too. I can’t even get in at my local now :(

    Great video. Awesome next leval facility . Be nice if we had short jumps like that here. It really makes for some faster racing with less wrecks.

    I would love to see you guys make a video about buggy racing setup, driving tips etc. I've started buggies and I'm slow as hell, when i was reasonably quick in TC, and I'm thinking i might be driving wrong?

    • @PopalongRC

    It’s nice to see you guys race buggies because I REALLY want one but it seems like there isn’t many tracks near me 😢 We definitely need more of these racing facilities in the uk because they are great fun and I don’t think I know many people who hate it. Even if I can’t race a buggy I will probably get one to drive around the garden 😂

    Is there anywhere down south that you can actually turn up & pay for a couple of hours practice especially indoors?
    The Pitt’s rent the track for a couple of hours privately but it’s not cheap
