anymore information on this event as we are getting pretty good numbers of 1/8th electric and would like to pass on information about this event to some of the Gold Coast members

also trying to find pictures on that site is quite hard , do you have any updated video's etc i could link people too ?

The main class for this event is the 1/8th buggy but there is also truggy and SCT (2WD & 4WD) as demonstration classes only. There will be more information to come in the coming weeks but you can nominated via slyfox. the format of the meet will be released couple of weeks before the meet. Will upload some pics in the coming days of the track but there will be changes made to the layout prior to the titles which will be a green track to everyone. The track will be pretty well closed from our last club day to the titles.

be good to see some of you guys from the Gold Coast come up. Will also have some accommodation details as well but there will be camping allowed at the track over the 3 days with showers etc available

thanks mate looks like fun thats for sure nice big track

surface whats it like ? clay or dirt looks a bit sandy and loose?

also when you get a chance accom details of close motels etc please

pretty sure i am there with buggy and truggy

nudge41

surface is mixture of dirt/clay, when its dry its very loose but the more traffic on the track, the better it comes. will put up accommodation spots in the next few days.

Is there a cost per class?

And is there any videos at all as we keep searching but find nothing.

Any idea what tyres are likely to work on teh track ?

nudge41

AKA ibeams and city blocks in Soft work pretty well, VP pro axemans or cutoffs and not sure in proline but bowties should work ok as well.

Track will be slick at first until the fine layer of dust is sweeped off then the track will start getting a groove in it by the end of the meet. I have tried enduros in soft and they seem to work pretty well to

cheers

will get back to you about costs and will try to get some video of the track and facilites in the coming weeks as we have had a fair bit of rain up this way the past few weeks and havent been able to get on the track until a couple of weeks ago. got a race meet coming up on the 29th so will try to get some video footage for you guys

Anymore info yet guys...have to start planning the weekend soon...Cheers

nudge41

What information you after, nominations fees will be $45 for first class, $30 for second and 3rd class will be free. Practice will be Friday afternoon from 1 to 4 and will be open practice. Saturday's will be qualifying with Sunday set down for finals. Not sure if I be doing 3 * 10min finals or 2 * 15min finals. Will depend on numbers and which way you guys want to run the finals ( this is for the A final). Bump ups will be the top 5 (top 10 straight into A final, next 10 B final etc). Hopefully will get meet finished by 3pm at the latest. Track is about 10mins from airport and motels

Cheers
