NORA Info
Northern Off Road Arena (NORA) is the 1/10th off road section of DDRCC. We built the current venue in 2010/2011with the original intention of using astro turf as a racing surface but due to not being able to source the material as planned we opted for grass to start with.
DIRECTIONS to the track can be found by scrolling down, just above the weather forecast on right side of page.

To see how we originally built the grass track click here, this shows the progress each time we were at the track.
The track is available for 2 & 4 wheel drive 1/10th scale electric buggies and trucks. We race mostly over the summer with dates on the club calendar. Everyone is welcome to race at the track, non members pay an extra fee so it's best to join the club if you intend to race regular. We also offer indoor pits trackside for those that are interested, details and availability can be obtained trackside.
When you arrive at the track we have a large car park with hard standing. This will allow you to unload all your gear and get setup track with having to covered in mud.
Pitting is available all around the track, just bring a tent for shelter. All areas for pitting are grassed. Cars can be revered right up-to the grass pitting area, zero walking distance with your gear.
Once everyone is setup, we need you to book in so we know who is racing what. Heats will be created depending on ability, your ability will be updated each week there are points for that class of car.
Controlling the cars is available from the rostrum overlooking the track. This is approx 2 meters high and long enough for a comfortable twelve people plus referee..
There will usually be time before the heats start to practice. Our race surface is brand new (2022) Astroturf, no sand filling.. Once you have had a practice you then need to get organised for the heats.
We have a dedicated "put down" area for the cars that is off the track, this is also the start area.
After you have raced in your heat you then need to marshal the next heat. There will be various marshal points indicated around the track. Remember only drivers/marshals that are BRCA members are allowed within the track perimeter.
Once all the finals have been run, drivers are organised into finals depending on how well they have done that day, This then gives drivers one last chance to race against each other to claim their points for that round of the club championship.
Facilities
We have toilets onsite, these are portable toilets, 1 for male, the other for females. These are cleaned out periodically, they are not hotel standard, but as clean as the last person that used them.
We have a club shop onsite, we stock tyres, inserts and some wheels, along with a few spares. We also have juice/water and sweets. If you require hot food etc we have retail parks availabe locally at Kirkcaldy and Dunfermline, as well as delivery options via deliveroo etc.
