PDMCC

Founded in 1993 it's been a feature of national and European races over the years and is the second longest standing club in the country! Our complex at Lomeshaye Way in Nelson is acknowledged to be the finest of its kind available anywhere in the UK! The Club is a Members Club, so it's totally independent of any other organisation/company and has a committee consisting of a Chairman/Vice Chairman, Treasurer, Secretary and a number of driver representatives who are all elected annually. The Club is pleased to be affiliated to the British Radio Car Association. Annual Membership Fees are £30 or £20 for under 16's. The race fee is £10 per meeting for members and £12 for non members. The Club's Track is situated off Lomeshaye Way, Nelson, BB9 7AF in the heart of Pendle Witch Country. The cars we race are 1/10th & 1/8th scale buggy’s, radio controlled 2WD & 4WD nitro powered & electric, The nitro buggy’s are powered by 3.5cc glow engines producing around 2 bhp. Giving them a top speed of 60 mph and an ability to reach this speed in 3.2 seconds. Considerable skill is required to drive these cars competitively and races prove popular with spectators. Especially with the speed, noise and airtime they get off our jumps! A typical 1/8th Club meeting consists of four or five rounds of 6-minute heats. Automatic computer controlled lap-counting facilities combined with the BBK race programme are used for race control purposes. Each driver's best times from these rounds determines which final they race in. All finals are 20min long. Drivers score points at each meeting based upon their finishing position in their final and these count towards the Club's season championship. We have an end of season raffle and trophy ceremony for all members so everyone has a chance to take something home!
