Well done to everyone who braved the weather today. In between the late showers, we managed 4 rounds of qualifying and a 20 minute combined final, a good time was had by all.

1st place: Leigh Bond, Tekno
2nd place: Mark Higgins, WiRC
3rd: James Tee, WiRC.

Next up is our big maintenance weekend on 26th-27th October. Please give up a couple of hours of your time if you can.

Then we host Nitro X Cross on 10th November.

See you all soon!

Just as a reminder, here are all the current 1/8th scale race meetings being held at Nene Valley Raceway this Winter and into 2025.
Please support your club by attending the club rounds where possible. Additionally, when you can please support both the Nitro X Cross and AWS series. It would be great to have as many Nene Valley drivers attending these rounds as possible.
Round 1 of the winter Nitro-x-cross series is at Deerdale Off Road this coming weekend Sunday 13th October with paid practice available on the Saturday.
Booking in is here: https://nitroxcross.co.uk/wordpress/?page_id=291

The first of your club winter series is the following weekend on Sunday 20th October.

The key event for us is our Astro Attack charity event, which was postponed until next spring. Plans are afoot to make this an amazing event once again and not to be missed!

Big shout and thanks to all those who put a lot of work and effort into maintaining the track at the weekend, still loads and loads to do but a great start , well done guys
Watch this space 😂😂👍

We are sorry we couldn't put on Astro Attack this weekend, however today has been a VERY productive day with lots of people putting in a shift getting even more maintenance and sprucing up done.
We can be proud of the work our members (new and old) have done over the past few weeks. It's really starting to make a difference. The club is looking very smart again and it's very much ready for Winter!

So thanks to everyone who regularly help out , without you, we wouldn't be where we are today.

We can always do with more help, so if you are ever at the club, all we ask is spend a small amount of time pulling up some weeds, picking up some litter or checking the track for loose pegs etc. It all makes a difference!

Track is open tomorrow all day for practice, as usual members are free, non members £10 for the day.

Its with deep regret that I have to announce that this years Astro Attack has been cancelled for this weekend due to a number of factors, firstly some of you may be aware that my father had a TIA last week and he’s due to be released from hospital later this week and I will need to be back in Leicestershire to support his return, secondly the weather that we have had and what is also forecast for the area, and finally the number of drivers currently booked in....

With the astro attack just a couple of weeks away the Nene team will be having a work party this Saturday and Sunday the 21st and 22nd September. Thanks to various volunteers over the last couple of weeks the Nene is looking good and we need one last push with the rostrum floor and a few other bits. I like a few others are unable to make the weekend so if you are able to spare a day, 1/2 day or even a few hours please post below so Mark Cove and I have an idea who can help when. Thanks in advance Darren worth

For Astro Attack this year we will be once again supporting Safe Haven 4 Caitlin.

At 8 years old Caitlin Passey was diagnosed with CLN3 Juvenile Batten Disease, which now at nearly 11 years old, has already robbed her of her vision. Her Family have spent the last 3 years raising funds to adapt their home to provide a safe environment as the disease progresses. These modifications are almost complete, but Caitlin has a bucket list of things she would like to achieve whilst she is able to.

So we would like to use the funds generated from Astro Attack to help her tick of one or more of these bucket list items.

If anyone can donate items towards the raffle these will be greatly appreciated.

You can read her full story and donate directly here:

Over the last 12 years the Nene has raised many 1000's for charities through its annual astro attack meeting and in 2023 we will be raising funds to a national charity in memory of a very sourly missed RC racer and friend of the Nene when he and Alex lived local....
