Hi all,

I'm moving to Ireland soon and Ive just had an offer accepted on a property in County Galway. It has space for 2 decent sized tracks and once I'm settled I'll see if there's any interest in starting a club.

I don't hear much about slot racing inIreland. For example, are there any other routed tracks over there? Would there be any interest in sharing information, a Facebook page or even organising race meetings?

Anyway, more when I've moved and got sorted.

Cheers

John

I am only aware of two clubs in Ireland and they are both in Dublin which is a fair way from Galway! Might be worth getting in touch with them to see if they have any information about slot racing elsewhere.

Dublin Model Car Club which is currently active - LINK

Dublin Scalextric Slot Club which may be defunct as they haven't updated their Facebook page since 2018 - LINK

Thanks Brian, I'll contact them once I've moved.

There's also Down Scalextric Club up north in Downpatrick: https://www.facebook.com/Down-Scalextric...001581424/

It was previously Northern Ireland Scalextric Club.

Time for an update, the track's up in its new home, I've repainted it and wired it up. I still have lap counters etc to do. Here's a video of some cars running round on a fixed voltage. to get some rubber down and clean up the braid etc

I also need to make a start on scenery etc. It would be great if there was any local racers!

Cheers,

John
