Grass Track Racing
At Canal Head we run on our own grass track. The ground is kept in great condition by our committee and volunteers. The wide open space means we can run buggies at full speed and over the bumps and jumps they were designed for.
There are more factors to consider with car set up than indoor carpet racing. You might need a few sets of tyres to cope with damp or dry conditions, and the rough surface means more emphasis on suspension set ups. There is always a friendly club racer to help.
Everyone enjoys close competitive racing so we generally help one another with set up
Most experienced members will bring a small generator or power pack to charge race batteries, some will use their motorcar battery with adaptors. Most racers are willing to share if you need. Just ask in the Facebook group.
