Paul and Jonathan Ellis delivered wins in the wet as the weather put Gremlins in the machinery during round two of KOC22.

The MB Models King of Clubs series is quickly establishing itself in the world of RC racing with fantastic racing, some influential innovations and some rapidly established traditions. The Saturday night Adur BBQ is already one such custom. The after-dinner campsite tug of war could well become another. After a beautifully sunny day, the red sky at night lore reassured campers, unbelieving the met-office forecasts of rain on Sunday.

The popular Stafford Radio Control Model Car Club has joined southern clubs Eastbourne Electric Car Club and Adur Model Car Club to offer mid-week evening racing.

As the spring weather warms the country, and the days grow a bit longer, midweek outdoor racing in the 1/10 electric on-road section is growing in popularity. EECC, Based in the south-east and the former BRCA ‘Club of the Year’ has long been a popular destination for racers looking for a mid-week RC fix year-round. Racing under lights in winter is a challenge for drivers and bodyshell race painters alike.

Adur Model Car Club followed suit, collaborating with its neighbouring club to run Friday night races under lights provided by a local electrician and sponsor DTS Electrical. This has proven equally popular, with 40 racers regularly turning out for an evening of racing and shared takeaway pizzas.

And now the much loved Stafford RCMCC has followed suit, switching from indoor racing mid-week to Thursday night outdoor races. No pizza deliveries are needed as the cricket club next door offers sustenance to racers after 5 pm. These weekly events look destined to be popular in the region, not just in the run-up to the BRCA 2WD National races taking place on 22-May 2022. West Midlands RC racers should check out the details on the Stafford RCMCC website for more details, while those in the South-East should check out EECC and AdurMCC.
