Welcome

Welcome to the website for Rossendale Model Stock Car Club

Founded in November 1973, we have been racing 1/32nd scale replicas of Brisca stock cars (also known as Slot Stox) for almost 40 years. Our home track is based at Nelson in Lancashire. Our main 6 lane track hosts meetings almost every week, but we also occasionally race on a smaller 4 lane track. We also operate meetings at  Blackley in Manchester, again, mainly on a newly-refurbished 6 lane track, but also on a unique 4 lane tri-oval. The tracks are purpose built ovals and by tapering all the lanes very close together on one straight, contact is not only allowed but encouraged. Check out the fixture page for a full run down of events

We have a member base of around 60 registered racers, with around half of these regularly racing.

Our cars are based around a standard scalextric motor, using brass to make up the chassis, then either plasticard or more brass to make up the body. Information on how to build an RMSCC spec car will appear on this website soon.

If you would like to ask any questions, then please feel free to email us on email@rmscc.co.uk. You can also sign up to our newsletter.
