HOME
The Northern Radio Moto Club was formed in 2003 to provide facilities for the racing of 1/5 scale radio controlled motorcycles. We now race on a permant outdoor tarmac track with the latest BBK lap timing equipment. The track is situated in Skipton, North Yorkshire and club meetings are held here monthly during the Summer and Winter. Electric powered (brushed and brushless) and nitro powered (both 2 & 4 stroke) bikes are raced here in 4 different classes to cater for all levels of skill and enjoyment. As well as 1/5 Superbike, Stock and nitro, we now also race 1/10 sidecars, electric and nitro. For 2012, 1/10 F1 cars will be included in the sidecar class (2wd, Tamiya or 3 Racing only). All club days are informal and on non race days just about anything RC can be run on the track from buggies to go karts. The empasis is on fun. Lets face it, we all just want to play with our toys!
WHERE WE ARE
The track is situated just off Engine Shed Lane, next to the football pitch and Sports Centre.

Club Racing at Skipton
We run club days to help the transition of new pilots from car park basher to track racer. If you are new to bike racing, just bring along your bike, 1/5 electric or nitro, to a club day and we'll give you all the help and advice you'll ever need. Not got a bike yet? Check out the 'Bike' page from the menu. We normally run the format of 3x7minute qualifying rounds and a 2 leg final for all classes. Nitros will have a 2 minute warm up. No need to bring along a pit man. There will generally be enough time between rounds to practice on the track, even a bit of 1 to 1 tuition if you want it.
