In 1997 the  British Slot Car Club was formed  with the brand new 160' Ogilvie-built 8-lane
Super-8 raceway and intitially the Club was based in Westbourne, Bournemouth. The emphasis was 
on 1/24 scale racing and very much a hobby operation. BSCC ran weekly  racing and several Team 
Races including a 24 hr race as part  of a European Championship. In one race, a Czech Team 
(Recek, Horky, Svanda and Jana Novakova) broke the world 24 Hr record  for 1/24 Scale Slot Cars
in 1997 by recording a distance run of over 400 miles in winning the race.
In 1997 BSCC hosted the  World & European Slot Racing Champs at Ocean Village, Southampton
when we had approx 360 Entries in all the Events at the  meeting which many racers from outside the
UK consideredthe best World Championships to date. 
In 1998 BSCC moved to a new home at Ringwood in Hampshire, 12 miles north of Bournemouth on
the South Coast of England and has developed Millstream  Model Centre & Raceway into a self
supporting operation  with 2 Steve Ogilvie Custom Tracks, a Pro Race Shop, full air conditioning
throughout the Raceway.  BSCC run regular Club Events, Birthday Parties,  Corporate Events etc.
The Pro Race Shop sells  model slot racing  product and has a huge die cast range with the emphasis
on race,rally  and sports cars. 
UK racer Dave Wright  is Millstream's Raceway Director and is ably assisted by the rest of the team. 
Dave has a weekly Stewards Enquiry  with  raceway owner Geoff Somers to ensure that the operation 
runs smoothly and to fettle the Club Rules NASCAR style to ensure close and even racing.
Visitors and newcomers are welcome to BSCC Race Nights and the Saturday Junior  Club, whether 
novices or experienced racers.
See you on the Grid!

HISTORY OF UK SLOT RACING

Model car racing started the day after Fred Flintstone invented the wheel!

Based on the concept of a 1/32nd scale car with a guide that goes in a slot, in a track,with metal
braids on either side of the slot to feed the 12 volt current to a small electric motor in the car, slot
car racing has been enjoyed by generations of children and adults world wide through the purchase
of home sets such as Scalextric, Ninco, Fly & SCX. It is generally accepted that the modern concept
of Slot Car Racing on pro tracks originated in Southport, Lancashire, England where it was developed
by Charlie Fitzpatrick of Betta & Classic. Steve Ogilvie Tracks of Canada has taken the hobby to yet
another level from the early days.

In the UK, and world wide, there are many model car raceways & clubs devoted to racing model cars.
Cars are constructed tointernational rules and regulations, and in the open classes represent the very
latest in sophisticated technology. The fastest cars are capable of speeds up to 100mph.

Model car racing is an attractive hobby for both the young and adult enthusiast, helps develop good
hand eye co-ordination and promotes good sportsmanship and fairplay. Race fans with an enquiring
mind can develop cars to find that racing edge in an interactive sport which is fun, exciting and affordable.

Millstream caters for low-cost 1/24 scale production racing with GT & Nascar Saloon Classes as well as
Scalextric, Ninco, Fly, SCX and similar product. An evening of hi-speed, hi-energy fun at Millstream takes poll position against most other recreational activities.
