Addiscombe slot car club has been running for around a couple
of years and has gone from strength to strength. The club began with me having
a hobby that was collecting scalextric cars. I was then offered a scalextric
layout and I never looked back, I set out the layout and raced with my three
boys. It was very competitive as we all wanted to win. My boys ended up with
the idea to build a large layout and invite people to come and have a go. The
club started with family and close friends and has been running since. In the
early days the track layout was a lot smaller but soon my boys came up with a
layout they thought would be much better. We now have a brand new layout which
is quite large.
We race many different classes including Formula ones,
Saloons, Sports and elite. (The elite class is mainly for cars with a faster motor.)
Addiscombe Slot Club races every Saturday from 7pm until
10pm. During that time we try and include as many races as possible. This
depends on the amount of racers, people being punctual and people being
focused. In this time we also have a break where we offer refreshments such as
hot drinks, biscuits, cold drinks, soup etc..
