Do you have any 10th electric indoor clubs near by? maybe you could invite them over for a race meeting one weekend.

Another alternative is to contact the 1/8th rally cross clubs and see if they want to set up a mini series using your club & track.

Yeah that was our situation also, a case of "bums on seats"... It started really well, we had over 35 emailing members who had largescale and every 2 weeks when we'd meet up around 20+ members would turn up for racing. Most of us had rallyX buggies too so we'd also set up another formula. We asked another local rallyX club (who were struggling with land and other various problems) to join in with us but they didn't want to share the same track with 1/5 offroad.. We even had more land to one side which they could've made another track on but they ventured somewhere else.. Once the winter was arriving we organised a winter series cup but numbers fell drastically, not enough to pay the rent and so on.. Basically my mate and I drew the line as we'd put in so much of our own money, and looking at just the 4 maybe 5 (including us two) racers who'd turn up, it was curtains :-( The annoying thing is there's the demand there too for a largescale offroad track in my area.. Two of us had put in alot of time n effort for it, and when I see your pictures it reminds me of just how hard you guys have worked, as mike says above, broaden your scope a bit and ask other forms of offroad cars to attend, and I hope things really do pick up for u!

hi mike along with the largescale national this year we have a meet for sorc which is the scottish offroad rc racing championship for 1/10th offroad and another possible event at the end of june
some of the 1/10th boys turned up at our track on the open day and the feedback we got was that our track was perfect for them and they were really impressed with it we have also included 1/8th and 1/10th in our club championship this year
