Somerset residents have a chance to take part in a free day of slot racing this month.
The East Devon Slot Racing Club is opening its doors on Saturday, February 28, inviting new visitors.
Situated in Awliscombe Parish Hall, Honiton, the club offers "real motor racing on a smaller scale" to racing fans.
Although based in Devon, the club has regular racers attend sessions from Taunton and Wellington.
The club is well-equipped, featuring a custom-made 23-meter, five-lane figure-of-eight painted MDF track, which guarantees equal lane lengths.
There will also be smaller rally-style tracks available.
The cars raced are 1:32nd scale Scalextric and equivalents.
Cars and controllers will be available, but the club encourages attendees to bring any old Scalextric cars along.
The club uses state-of-the-art timing and lap counting, adding to the excitement.
Meeting every Friday evening, the club opens its doors at 7pm and starts racing at around 8pm, offering a diverse range of categories.
The first two visits for newcomers are free, and refreshments are available.
The club is also encouraging children to join, though under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
For more information, visit the club's website, edsrc.co.uk.
Alternatively, the club can be contacted directly for more details.
Paul Carter and Dave Stevens can be contacted at 07980 850093 and 01404 811187, respectively.
